Educational Background
Bachelor's degree in History, Minor in Psychology, Beijing Normal University.

Before Moonshot, Maxine worked in positions as a Social Science Teacher, Competition Coach, Event Organizer, and Editor in different types of international schools and publishing houses.
Maxine supports Social Science teachers in curriculum development and teaching, constructing integrated Social Science courses that cover history, geography, civics, sociology, and economics topics, while also developing research and writing skills.
Meanwhile, as a competition coach, she also supports learners who are willing to strive for excellence in the areas of debate, writing, and social science-related skills.
Since Maxine is focused on a wide range of social science topics, she is particularly interested in cross-disciplinary projects. She is committed to applying the competency model and new technologies in daily education.
Personally, writing fictional novels allows Maxine to express her imagination and storytelling skills, while her interest in psychology provides insights into the human mind and behavior.
"I learned so many life principles and knowledge when I was in school, but why am I still living such a sad and messy life?" A casual question from a friend became the beginning of my choice to enter the teaching profession.
I once wandered in search of answers, and the educational philosophy of Moonshot was like a beam of light shining upon me. After countless "attempts" and "rehearsals", I hope that the learners who graduate from Moonshot can confidently answer, or get ready to answer: "Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going."
