四川人。1993年毕业于四川外语学院英语语言文学专业，2007年毕业于中欧国际工商学院EMBA。20余年的工作经历大致分两部分：前十年从事外交工作，在外交部礼宾司、美大司、中国常驻联合国禁止化学武器组织代表团、中国驻珀斯（西澳大利亚州）总领馆任职。之后转至外企，曾先后在美国和德国公司驻华总部从事管理工作。

语言和教育是我的兴趣所在，校园生活也是我经常回望和向往的。我非常高兴也很荣幸有机会在美丽的北师大珠海分校尝试将兴趣转化为实践。除了与同学们一起探讨学习语言的方法之外，我也希望结合自己的经历帮助大家拓宽视野，并分享如何更好地将大学期间的专业学习与工作中的实际应用进行匹配。

一份美好的工作应该于己有趣，还能于人有益。对我而言，教师就是这样的工作。

Although I have spent most of my adulthood in Beijing, I still consider myself a Sichuanese, with a detectable accent and persistent liking for hot and spicy food. I gained my bachelor degree of arts as an English major at the Sichuan Foreign Language University in 1993, and a master degree for business management at China European International Business School in 2007. My 20 years or so career experience can be roughly broken into two phases. The first ten years were spent in diplomatic service, half of the time in Beijing and the other half stationed abroad in Netherlands and Australia. In 2003, I decided to try something new. Leaving the Foreign Ministry, I joined an American consulting firm and worked there for two years before moving to Volkswagen Group China to head its Planning and Strategy department.

I have all along harbored an interest in language and education. The campus life that I had experienced two decades ago was a fond episode that I always wish to relive. Joining BNUZ is, in a sense, a dream come true. Besides assisting the students’ academic study, I also wish to help broaden their horizons by exposing them to a bigger outside world and orient their study to better prepare for future careers. Meanwhile, teaching is also a learning process. I believe there is a lot I can learn from my peers and students.

Over the past twenty years, I have had a mobile life and have traveled to dozens of countries across five continents. It’s great to take a respite in such a beautiful campus and work on something meaningful, interesting and spiritually rewarding.
