Biography:

I was born in Taiwan and speak fluent Mandarin and English. I currently live in Sunnyvale, CA. My educational background includes a B.A. in Accounting from Fu-Jen Catholic University in Taiwan and an MBA from UC Riverside in the USA. I passed the CPA exam and have been maintaining an active license. I am working as a Director at Ravix Group. I help my clients find the right solution in strategic, operational, or technical engagements.

Through my professional experience over 20 years, I realized what motivates me is both being systematic and efficient, as well as enabling others to thrive and succeed. Starting in 2019, I decide to pursuit for consulting and teaching career which I can offer my expertise with my great passion in helping others know more and do better. While I can place students in situations and offer them experiences that foster learning, the actual process of learning ultimately goes on inside their minds. Students must make themselves focus and reflect on these situations and experiences, sometimes for long, effortful periods. From this perspective, motivating students to learn proactively is my primary job and one just as critical as creating engaging learning situations and experiences.

Outside of the office, I am committed to three roles: Wife, Mother of two boys (13 and 9 years old), and Commissioner volunteering through the Tzu Chi Foundation. I love traveling because it expands my perspective and strengthens the relationship with my family. Everyone has a good way to relax. I dream of the places I would like to visit someday. If you are planning a trip to Taiwan, I can tell you all the good places to go and the gourmet foods to eat.
