In 2004, I came to Taiwan to teach English after completing a Bachelor of Arts at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where I studied Chinese history and language. For four years I taught students of varied ages and abilities, ranging from kindergarten and beginner to high school aged students and adults with advanced ability.
In 2009 I completed a Master of Arts degree from the University of Toronto where I studied Asian Studies and Advanced Modern and Classical Chinese. After finishing my degree, I came back to Taiwan and began working at ACES in November of 2009.
