About

I spent over seven years living in China. What began as a summer language program in Beijing became a life-changing journey through Chinese language, culture, education, and everyday life. I’ve studied Mandarin for more than a decade, taught English in China, started a school, and built friendships that continue to shape how I see the world today. These days, I share stories and reflections about China, language learning, cultural understanding, books, and the people who change our lives. Professionally, I’m the Podcast Booking Manager at BookThinkers, where I help connect authors with podcast hosts and build meaningful professional relationships. 📍 North Carolina 📚 Lifelong Learner 📝 Writing Daily Since 2018
