She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Hawaii. Dr. Lu is very technically inclined, having taught Chinese language courses for ITV, and Web-based courses in translation.

In her spare time as a mother of three, she continues to translate and edit translated books. Her most recent collaborated work is the translation of the book S.H.A.P.E. (活出生命特質) by Erik Rees and the translation of the book Dangerous Surrender by Kay Warren.
