Witha background in chemistry from Williams College, I did research in reproductiveimmunology and clinical psychiatry at Dartmouth Medical College followed byemployment developing analytical methods for a pharmaceutical company,specializing in gas chromatography and HPLC. It was during this time that I travelled and trained other chemistsworldwide and began teaching English as part of this position. My love for this aspect of my job grew and Ieventually chose to teach English full time. Interest in the Far East inspired my choice to come to China. Spare time is filled with hobbies -- reading,Asian art, gardening, and traveling. Current research interests include a longitudinal vocabulary learningand independent language learning project.
