As a lifelong language learner, I am passionate about language teaching and very interested in using educational technology to support learning.
With over five years of ESL/EAL teaching experience in Hong Kong and the US, I currently teach a multi-level ALP class. I have a Master's degree in Education from the University of Pennsylvania and a US teaching license for PreK-12 ESL with endorsements in Bilingual Education and Special Education.​
As I pursue a second Master's in Educational Technology, this website serves as a live document of my professional journey in EdTech and an online portfolio for my course work.
