I have a degree in construction management and two associates degrees in architecture and construction.   I worked for a fortune 500 Construction company in downtown Los Angeles, California, on a $90 million high school project, as their cost engineer.

I have been a hotel restaurant manager in Washington state. I have also owned my own small business on an island in Washington State.  

I have been certified as a personal trainer and have competed in three bodybuilding competitions where I placed in the top five and received trophies in all three competitions.

When I was a very little girl my father had an Albright scholarship, where he came to Asia and spent two years learning about the Asian culture. He brought that knowledge home and taught it to me.

I have always had an appreciation and respect for the Chinese culture and when I found my opportunity to be able to come to China, I was extremely excited!  To me China is a magical place, and I am extremely happy to be here and learn about the people and the culture firsthand.
