After twenty years in Australia, I help families choose with confidence.
After 20 years of living and studying in Australia, I understand that choosing an Australian education pathway involves much more than comparing rankings. Families need clear information, realistic options and someone who understands both the Australian education environment and the concerns behind each decision. I established this consultancy to provide thoughtful, personal support to students and parents throughout that process.
Education and professional journey
My Australian journey began with a full scholarship to study electronics engineering at Chisholm TAFE. I then completed a Bachelor of Multimedia at Swinburne University, followed by a Master of Information Technology at the University of Sydney. Together, these studies gave me a multidisciplinary foundation across engineering, technology, communication and creative problem-solving.
Before obtaining Australian permanent residency, I secured an e-learning designer role with a privately held Fortune Global 500 company, where I worked for approximately two years. I later established my own hospitality brands, gaining first-hand experience in entrepreneurship, customer service, operations and building businesses within the Australian market.
Today, I serve as a partner of an Australian renewable-energy company. My education, corporate career, entrepreneurial experience and executive leadership have helped me develop a strong understanding of Australian industry and an extensive network across business and the wider community. I bring this practical perspective to education planning: helping students consider not only what to study, but how their choices may connect with their strengths, future careers and long-term goals.

Understanding both cultures
I connect Australian education information with the practical concerns of Chinese families. I know the questions parents ask, the reassurance students need, and the details that matter when a family is making a significant decision from a distance. My work began simply, helping relatives and friends understand Australian education options, and grew into a consultancy built on careful assessment, transparent communication and recommendations based on suitability.
Good education planning begins with the student, their interests, learning strengths, family goals and future direction, not simply with a university ranking.
