What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural diversity and promotes innovative language education.

I am a dedicated language researcher with a focus on intercultural communication, particularly between Indonesia and Australia. My current role as a leader and cultural researcher at Gadjah Mada University allows me to explore the dynamics of language and identity, contributing to a deeper understanding of how language shapes our interactions and cultural preservation.

With extensive experience in bilingual education, I have developed and implemented innovative teaching strategies that integrate technology to enhance language learning. My work with the Sumatera English Teacher’s Forum has been instrumental in promoting student-centered learning approaches, fostering cultural awareness, and empowering students to thrive in diverse environments.

As a passionate advocate for the role of language in community engagement, I have delivered lectures and seminars that highlight the importance of bilingual communication in both academic and social contexts. I am committed to advancing research and education in linguistics, aiming to bridge cultural gaps and enhance communication across borders.
