About

I was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the United States when I was six. I grew up in San Francisco, where my parents owned a corner grocery store in the Mission District for over 20 years. I attended Catholic schools my whole life: St. Peter’s School, St. Ignatius College Preparatory and then Santa Clara University, where I received my BA in English. I then attended UC Berkeley where I received my teaching credential. I returned to St. Ignatius, where I taught English and coached Speech and Debate team for seven years. During that time, I returned to school and received my MA in Education at San Francisco State University. I left teaching in 2000 and headed off to the dot-com world for two years where I worked at an online learning company. I returned to Catholic education in 2002 when I took on the role of Assistant Principal of Instruction at Moreau Catholic High School. I began my current role as Principal of Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School in July of 2007.
