Me, Family, & My Community Services

In 2013, our first child, Jiu Jiu, was a kindergarten at Cumberland Elementary, now WLES. ​

In 2024, Jiu Jiu is a junior and Jiuru is a freshman in WLHS, and Jiuluo is a 6th grader in WLIS.

My husband, Qiang, and I moved to West Lafayette in 2008 when our son, Jiu Jiu, was 3 months old. Our two daughters were born here later, and all of them have been raised here. We chose to make West Lafayette our home because it is a safe, friendly, vibrant, and culturally diverse college town—ideal for raising a family.

 

Jiu Jiu is now 16 years old, Jiuru 14, and Jiuluo 11. All of them have attended West Lafayette schools since kindergarten. Currently, Jiu Jiu and Jiuru are in West Lafayette High School, and Jiuluo is in West Lafayette Intermediate School. They love their schoolwork and enjoy a variety of extracurricular activities, such as arts, cross country, tennis, robotics, math competitions, orchestra, and debate.

Qiang's parents live with us. They enjoy gardening, traveling, and spending time with friends in the neighborhood.

​

We have a cat, Athena, who loves to sleep, investigate every corner, and watch birds and squirrels. She is everyone's favorite baby. :) Jiuluo even painted a portrait of her.
