About Myself :
I came to Singapore with my husband in 1999. Prior to that, I worked in the Central China Normal University Press as an editor for two years after obtaining my MSc(Publishing Science) degree from the School of Library & Information Science, Wuhan University (China), in July 1997. From 1999 to 2002, I had worked successively as content developer in two local educational dot com companies. After that, I had studied in the School of Communication and Information (SCI), NTU for two and half years with research scholarship supporting. I graduated from NTU in May 2005, and then gave birth to my daughter in June 2005. After staying at home for about one year, I joined NTU library in July 2006. I think it is the right time and right place for me to start my librarian career.
I like reading, watching Discovery channel and online surfing. Now I enjoy playing with my daughter in my spare time. Her smiling face is the source of my energy.
