Biography

I was born in Hong Kong and raised in Hong Kong, Sacramento, and the Bay Area. Before coming to Menlo, I taught high school English in south Sacramento and Redwood City. After leaving the classroom, I joined the Academics Team that designed the 6-12th grade personalized curriculum for schools in the Summit Public Schools network. I also worked with teachers and instructional coaches and ran the induction program for faculty who just earned their preliminary credentials. 

Outside of school, I enjoy reading nonfiction, taking long walks in hilly neighborhoods, and spending time with my two boys. I also love photography and dogs (especially the intersection of taking pictures of dogs)—one day when my young children stop demanding my attention every five minutes and I have a house with a yard, I want to adopt a pack of dogs and pursue photography again.
