Mission statement: I am an education professional specialist who thrives in a mixed cultural setting.
I am a better teacher now than l have ever been before, and l am still looking for ways to improve.
A recent return to the classroom has given me a taste for even more. Teaching is not about giving
students confidence, as much as it has to do with maintaining the inherent confidence levels
students already have, and allowing them the opportunities to grow and practice in a supportive and
co-operative learning environment. l am also a highly social person who blends in well to enhance
relations. My goal is to help improve the standards of any student and organization l work with. After
more than nine years in China, it is time to move, so l can be close to my fiancé who is from
Sumatra.

China, late 2012. A VPN may be need to view this workshop if seen outside of China.
