Building 1 - G.18
As a member of the School of Access Education, I work closely with undergraduate and postgraduate students to hone their academic communication and self-leadership skills.
With a strong interest in GenAI, my practice and scholarship also comprise integrating AI technologies into the curriculum to enhance students' academic and personal growth, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and essential skills for success in the digital age.
I am also a humanities scholar with interdisciplinary interests spanning gender studies, biblical and religious studies, western philosophy, and classical literature.
