Other pursuits

In her spare time, Katherine enjoys swimming, kayaking, hiking, movies, reading, arts and crafts, and playing with images. She was a photographer (and later an expedition leader) for the University of Hong Kong China Education Association (a student run and HK government registered charity). Years ago, Katherine went to Hunan, China in their annual expeditions to research on village education as well as monitor their funding program which subsidizes over 400 elementary school children. The photographs Katherine took, with the permission of the villagers, were used in public exhibitions, publications, and Hong Kong school visits for fund-raising as well as for raising public awareness on education issues in China. Other design works that Katherine did include NWAV33 website and publicity material for the "Multilingual Hong Kong" film series. 

Katherine has worked as a volunteer for various community organizations such as St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Safe House (Domestic Violence Project, Inc.), and Michigan Siamese Rescue (Animal Rescue) in the US; YWCA Western District Social Service Centre, Hong Kong Reads program, and the Society for Community Organization (香港社區組織協會) in Hong Kong.
