After over twenty years working in IT career as software manager, and having worked as ChineseHeritageSchool teacher, Pinyin program director since 2003, and working in GeorgeMasonHigh School, Falls ChurchVA since 2006, I have decided to switch my career path from IT to educational arena in summer 2009.
Being as Pinyin director in Washington School Chinese Language and Culture, known as WSCLC, in Rockville, Maryland, and the very first Chinese teacher in GMHSHigh School, Falls Church, VA, I have experiences in both the administrative and a educational aspects of a heritage language school and mainstream public school system.
It took me for almost eight years to make a career change because I finally realize that teaching and promoting Chinese language and culture is what I like to do for the rest of my career life.
My goal is very clear that to continue the promoting language and culture and bring beauty of the culture and language from/to American to Mandarin-speaking world.
