A Graphic Designer by profession, Julia trained and worked in Hong Kong in various Graphic Design Studios and Advertising Companies. She has also worked as an Illustrator in various publishing houses in Hong Kong. Julia moved to Glasgow in 2000 and has been active within the local Chinese community ever since. She started volunteering as a language teacher at the Glasgow Chinese School Stow College, and in 2008, took up the post of Deputy Head Teacher. She has also started working as Examiner and Scrutineer with the Scottish Qualification Association.

It became apparent to Julia that the local Chinese community were in need of channels to profile their culture and traditions.

Julia has remained committed to the organisations development throughout the past 6 years.
