What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and innovative academic professional with over a decade of experience in senior academic and administrative roles within higher education.

I am passionate about student-centered teaching and the use of digital media to enhance learning experiences.
As a Senior Lecturer at Limkokwing University, I have successfully taught various academic literacy modules, adapting my methodologies to meet diverse student needs. My commitment to curriculum development ensures that my courses remain relevant and responsive to the evolving educational landscape. I also lead academic writing workshops and provide one-on-one consultations to support student development in critical thinking and writing proficiency.
In my role as Faculty Manager, I oversee academic programs and contribute strategic advice to enhance quality assurance and academic development. My research focuses on multilingual and under-resourced higher education contexts, and I actively engage in scholarly conversations through publications and presentations. I strive to foster a culture of inquiry and collaboration within my faculty, mentoring junior researchers and integrating reflective practices into our programs.
