Lu has spent over twenty years teaching and working with children. She taught English, math, economics and computer skills to learning disabled children in Montreal, Canada from 1985 to 2000.
Lu has worked in three child centered holistic learning environments. One of these was part of an intentional community near Kingston, Ontario (Dandelion Community) where she created a child-centered homeschooling program for the children resident in the community. Lu’s second endeavour was Upattinas School in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania. In 2001 and 2002, she acted as the school’s co-director and administrator, as well as teaching some of the school’s students and working with homeschooled children through an outreach program at Upattinas.
Her third alternative educational project was at Petite l’Ecole Alternative des Cantons de l’Est (P.E.A.C.E. School) in Fulford, Quebec, created by Melanie Whitham. Lu was part of the educational team and acted as the school’s administrator.
Now retired, Lu spends as much time as she can among the trees of her mountainside home in southern Quebec. She is also an intuitive counsellor, poet, singer/songwriter, photographer, and an amateur botanist.
