Hello!  I am so excited to be part of the Carolyn and Vernon Madden Elementary Pre-Kindergarten Team. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science.   In 2000, I moved to United States and became a certified teacher in 2003.  I am also certified in teaching Montessori program.  I have been working with children since I was a teenager through giving piano lessons.  This is going to be my 16th year of teaching in elementary schools.  I previously taught first grade and Pre-K in other school districts. I have 2 sons, ages 14 and 10 who keep my husband and me very busy outside of school.  Aside from teaching, I love to travel overseas and spend time with my family and friends. My favorite places have been my hometown, Europe and Japan. I am filled with excitement and anticipation for this school year.  I look forward to challenging and inspiring your children as well as watching them blossom this year!
