About me

Hello! I was born in Hong Kong but have also lived in Thailand, Indonesia, Switzerland, Japan, the USA, and Italy. I earned my B.A. in History with a minor in Evolutionary Processes from Northwestern University. I also received my  teaching certification in History with an Endorsement in Biology. I then earned a Post-Graduate Certificate of Education and  Masters in Educational Leadership and Management from the University of Nottingham.

I began teaching World History and International Relations in Park Ridge, outside of Chicago. I taught IB Biology and grades 8-10 Science at KIS International School in Bangkok, Thailand for three years. Now, I teach IB Biology at ASM.

My interest in the IB program began when I was a student in high school. I earned my IB diploma and am now an IB DP Biology Examiner. I have also taught World Scholars Cup and Model United Nations.

When I am not teaching, I love to hike, ski, read, travel and play basketball and badminton. I have passion for singing, and am part of a choir in Milan. I am also certified in Japanese Tea Ceremony and am a DM for several D&D groups!
