Years ago, I was teaching English in China. I enjoyed my job, but I often lacked confidence because my English came mainly from textbooks, and I had never been to any English-speaking countries. Then I came to New Zealand and made friends with people from all walks of life. I have worked with customer service representatives, salespeople, tradespeople, professionals, and students. I have learned so much—and there is still so much more to learn!

Now, here I am at Riverina, ready to share my understanding of courage, courtesy, and kindness with my classes. I hope all my students grow courage with sensibility, courtesy with dignity, and kindness with rationality. I look forward to meeting you all!
