I grew up in China and worked there as a college math instructor, and then as an economics researcher and project director. After I married my wonderful husband Erik, a U.S. citizen, I immigrated to the United States and became a permanent resident in May 2013. In a whole new environment, I worked remotely for my institute in China to complete all the ongoing projects, meanwhile, I pursued an M.B.A. and had a baby. After achieving MBA, I became an adjunct math/statistics/data instructor both at University of Northwestern – St. Paul and Bethel University. Meanwhile, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Business Analytics and Data Science at Capitol Technology University. I have unfailing appetite for what is next in my life and the joy of pursuing my dream.
