Only practical work and experiences lead the young to maturity.
I was born in Hubei, China, but also spent many years living and working in Beijing, where I received a degree in video production from the Communication University of China. I have always felt a strong connection with young children, and truly enjoy working and playing with them, watching them discover and grow. However, it was my experience working with children at El Cerrito Preschool Cooperative that inspired me to seek a career as a preschool teacher. I am taking Early Childhood Development classes at Contra Costa College, working toward a credential. I also enjoy raising my own two children bilingually, in Chinese and English. This is my second year at GMIS, where I have worked both in the Children’s House and the Young Children’s House.
