I'm a graduate of Laurier Brantford myself, so I know firsthand what a special place Laurier is to study. When I finished my undergrad, I taught in Korea for a year and I've been involved in international education ever since. Stop by my office to chat about academics, ways to get involved in the Laurier community, transitioning into a new culture or the latest Marvel movies.

I'm a first-generation Canadian with parents from Hong Kong. I grew up seeing the struggles and barriers that newcomers face and am never surprised by the strength and courage people have when faced with these challenges. I learned how to bridge the gap between the Chinese and Canadian cultures and am trying to do the same for my children. Depending on the day you ask me, I will either be Canadian or Chinese but I will always say yes to sushi. Looking forward to getting you know you and hear about your successes.
