She also enjoyed her leisure time in a Multicultural Club in her high school.
At age 21, she was awarded as a "Young Ambassador" traveled to the capital city of Canada -- Ottawa, visiting different political party leaders and ministers in Canada. In the same year, she was also in a winning debate team -- a Ming Pao Newspaper sponsored debate between university students and local news anchors from a Chinese Canadian radio station, on various social, economic and political issues.
By age 24, she has completed two university degrees and two certification programs (BSc, CIS, MBA, CIM). While advancing in her study, Vivian also gained lots of valuable business experience as a marketing coordinator for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 1997 -- the Business Matching Program for Small Medium Enterprises (SME).

At age 26, Vivian was, one of the youngest instructors, teaching an all-new "eMarketing" courses at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). She designed, developed and launched a few eMarketing / eCommerce courses for 200+ full-time and part-time students.

She has completed various copywriting programs: Accelerated Copywriting, Master Copywriting, Financial Market Copywriting, Website Audit, and Dan Kennedy's Info Marketing.
Vivian is pursuing a new "Consultant + Copywriter" life to showcase her knowledge and skills, helping others to achieve success. She also has an exciting plan to build her "Writer's Life" -- to publish her new books in business, self-help, children and scientific fiction in the coming years. Imagine... from an English as a Second Language (ESL) student who failed a Language Proficiency Index (LPI) exam more than 13 times... to a professional marketing Consultant + Copywriter, offering strategies and secrets for success!
Besides her love of writing, consulting and coaching, Vivian enjoys meeting new people and helping them to achieve success.
