Professional Biography

Originally hailing from Beijing, China, I earned my B.A. in Business Law from Nihon University in Tokyo, Japan. I then completed an M.A. in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language at Peking University and taught Chinese to international students at Xi'an International Studies University. In the United States, I have served both as a Japanese language instructor for a prominent Japanese automotive corporation and as a patent clerk at a Washington, D.C.-based patent law firm.

Since joining the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of North Carolina in 2019, I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of Chinese language courses, including those specifically tailored for heritage learners.

Research

My research interests are in Content-Based Instruction (CBI) methods and language instruction for Chinese heritage students.
