Sherry

Hey there! I’m Sherry Zhang. 

Jian is my husband and my best friend. He used to be our teaching assistant of social psychology class when I was a junior student in college in 2012. We’ve been in love for more than 7 years. (Lucky I’m in love with my best friend~♫)

Now we are teammates parenting little Maxina.

Here are some facts about myself:

  • Taylor Swift is my favorite singer. I know (and can sing!) almost all of her songs.
  • I love watching movies and TV series (so does Jian). My favorite movies are Pride and Prejudice (2005 Joe Wright version), The Prestige, and a lot of others :P. My favorite TV shows are Sense 8True Detective (season 1, of course. I love Matthew Mcconaughey!), Friends, and TBBT. Oh, and the masterpieces from the genius Vince Gilligan, , Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
  • I’m obsessed about orderliness. All the time. I’m not gonna change.

I’ll add more when I have time. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Beijing Normal University. My profession is cognitive development. My research interest included spatial representation and symmetry concept development in 3- to 6-year-old children.
