I was born in Hong Kong, immigrated to SF Bay Area in 1973. Came to USA with knowing only 10 out of the 26 alphabets, I began to learn English by watching cartoons after school. Through lots of hard work and a never give up attitude, I was admitted to UCB from high school; after 5 years in Berkeley, I earned a BA degree in Computer Science. Worked as a programmer in IBM for 6 years before I started and ran my own graphic designing business for the next 15 years. Because of the flexibility of my work schedule as a boss, I was able to go back to school and earned my MBA degree from CSUEB. I taught part-time for several colleges from 1998-2001. Because of my passion in teaching, I became a full-time instructor for Chabot in 2001. During my tenure at Chabot, I went back to school and received my DBA degree from NPU in 2016. That was a big challenge for me, but I love the different perspectives in the classrooms, as a student and as an instructor. I believe that made me a better teacher.
