I am an Asian American who appreciates both Eastern and Western cultures and strives to live the best values of both. My parents taught me the importance of education in seeking a better life. I went to graduate school for both chemistry and chemical engineering. I have been single since 2011, and have three children - my daughter, currently a medical resident, my older son, currently a software engineer, and my younger son, currently attending boarding school. With my children soon to be all independent, I hope to find a significant other to be a big part of my life. I enjoy tutoring, cooking, gardening, and exercising while at home. I also want to spend more time traveling, to explore different landscapes, peoples, histories, arts, and cultures. Adventure always excites me! I do my best to keep up with current events in the US, China, and further abroad. If I go out, it's usually to theaters, concerts, and quality movies. The most important things I seek are shared values, authenticity, trust, and kindness.
