About Me
I was a tenured professor of Chinese language, literature, culture, and cinema at UT Austin before returning to the west coast to be with my family. A published author in both English and Chinese, I am enthusiastic about helping you become an even more effective communicator in Chinese, in writing or speaking or both! I have interpreted for a few Chinese writers when they came to the US on a book tour. I can't wait to work with you as you reach your linguistic goals.
