Meet Sharee Hebert, Who Stays Sane With The Help Of The Beijing Guild

Our expat community thrives on connection, and here at Jingkids, we’re all about our readers, what they need and want in order to maximize their time here in Beijing. Every Monday, we’re going to feature a prominent member of our expat community and get to know them a little bit better.


Sharee Hebert, originally from Texas, has been living in Beijing for a combined total of 16 years (2002-2007, 2010-present), mostly as a math teacher. She is a mom to an 8-year-old. Sharee is an active member of the Clothing Auction Network, the Beijing Guild, and a myriad of other communities in the city.

What’s on your mind? 
What isn’t these days?!?! Seriously, though, it’s all connected to Covid and/or the start of the school year. When will children under 12 get vaccinated? When will I get to see my family again? Will we get to teach without masks again anytime soon? I wish I was better at learning names quickly, but masks add to the difficulty!

What’s your motivation to get moving?
Angeli’s answer from the week before really resonated with me. My motivation changes depending on the situation. The motivation for being a better teacher is my students, the motivation to get physically moving with exercise and a healthy lifestyle is my daughter. I want to set a good example for her.

There is more to this interview! This article was originally published on our sister site, Jingkids International.
