What is your favorite word in your language and why?
My favourite word is "serendipity". I like it because it reflects how many relationships in my life have started unexpectedly but left a lasting impact. It reminds me to value every encounter.
-
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
My favourite dish is egg and tomato. It’s simple, fresh, and comforting. The balance of sweet and savory always reminds me of mom's cooking.
-
Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
As a Chinese Canadian, I grew up speaking both English and Chinese. In daily life, I use both about equally. At work, the ratio is roughly 80 percent English and 20 percent Chinese.

What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
I’m a motorcycle enthusiast. I enjoy the sense of freedom it brings. Whenever possible, I choose to ride instead of drive.

What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
