Bio
I have served as a humanities teacher at Hong Kong International School since 1990, teaching history, English, and religion courses. Since the mid-1990's I have also come to assume responsibility for many of the school's service learning initiatives. My position also included human care ministry with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in Hong Kong, southern China, and others parts of Asia from 1999-2014. Bringing my affluent students into contact with people served by the LCMS in Asia has proved to be beneficial to students and our community partners alike. Through these experience I have become committed to social conscience education, which gives students the opportunity to find their place in society in the context of challenging global realities. Since 2016 when our humanities department created a new four-year Spiritual Explorations curriculum for all high school students, I have been deeply engaged in teaching of this unique program to students. In 2022 my teaching experience and blog writing came together in a book entitled "the Wisdom Way of Teaching: Educating for Social Conscience and Inner Awakening in the High School Classroom." Most recently, I have come intrigued by my study of energetic kinesiology, Chinese medicine, and Daoist practices, which portends future writings exploring this turn in my journey.
