你怎樣保持平衡的生活？

????我把重點放在做一個隨叫隨到的家長?；厥孜业耐旰颓嗄陼r光，讓我記憶猶新的一點就是，我的父母總是隨叫隨到。他們都有工作，但重要場合他們總在那里，表達他們對我的支持，甚至是在上班時也不例外。這種支持給了我信心，而這種信心則讓我敢于冒險，目標遠大。

????現在我已經為人父母，我想讓我的孩子們能感覺到，我會一直支持他們。我會提前下班去看他們的舞蹈表演、學校音樂會和其他活動。差不多每次去醫院都是我帶著他們（看病、看牙、矯正牙齒）——這不僅是因為我需要這樣做，也因為我想讓他們知道我關心他們的點點滴滴，而不光是大事。（再說，我喜歡和他們待在一起！）

????當然，有些時候我確實沒辦法和他們在一起，所以我盡量保證自己在可能的情況下隨叫隨到。

如果不再從事現在的工作，你會干什么？

????說實話，我不會去別的地方工作——我一直想用自己的熱情來建立大型網絡公司，而且希望能給整個世界和我們的社會帶來一些影響，Chang.org在這兩方面都很理想。不過，如果不在這里工作了，我能想到的就是再回去當老師。我剛開始踏進職場時就是當老師，它也是我喜歡的工作。

你有哪些愛好？

????我有兩大愛好，一個是和家人朋友在一起，另一個是到世界各地去旅游觀光。Chang.org已經在18個國家和地區設立了辦公室，我想帶我的女兒們去其中的一些地方。

What do you do to live a balanced life?

????I focus on being a present parent. When I look back on my childhood and young adult years, one of the things I remember clearly is that my parents were always there. They were both working parents, and yet they showed their support for me by coming to important events, even in the middle of a work day. That support helped give me confidence that I could take risks and aim big.

????Now that I'm a parent myself, I want my children to feel that I'm there to support them. I leave work early to attend their dance recitals, school concerts, and other events. I even take them to nearly all of their appointments (doctors, dentists, orthodontists,etc.) – not because I need to, but because I want them to know I care about all the things they do, not just the big events. (Plus, I like spending time with them!)

????Of course, there are times when I just can't make it, so I work hard to make sure I'm present for them whenever I possibly can be.

What would you do if you weren't working at your current job?

????There's honestly nowhere I'd rather work – I've always wanted to blend my passion for building big internet companies and my desire to drive global [and] social impact, and Change.org is the ideal place to do both. But, if I were not doing this, I could imagine going back to teaching, which I did early in my career and loved.

What do you do for fun?

????My two favorite activities are spending time with my family and friends and traveling to learn about other places around the world. I look forward to taking my daughters to visit some of the 18 countries where we have Change.org offices.
