info​​
After completing my B.A. in Visual Arts and B.Ed. in Primary/Junior/Intermediate, I returned to Hong Kong to embark on my teaching career. I began as an art instructor at an art studio and later worked as an E.A. at Sha Tin Jr. School. Seeking new opportunities at a renowned institution, I joined Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School as a primary classroom teacher, eventually transitioning into the role of an art teacher in the secondary division. Eager to challenge myself and further my growth as an educator, I pursued a position at Carmel Association Elsa High School—an I.B. World international school dedicated to serving international students with Jewish heritage.
