I’ve always seen teaching and learning as two sides of the same coin; you can’t really have one without the other. Through my work as a tutor and teaching assistant, I’ve had the chance to learn alongside students from many different backgrounds. Every experience has reminded me that each interaction is an opportunity for growth.  I’m driven by a desire to break down cultural and language barriers and help foster a lifelong love of learning.

My work sits at the crossroads of language education, learning technologies, and teaching innovation, and it’s an area I’m really excited about. Lately, I’ve been exploring how generative AI can support English language learners, not just as helpful resources but as ways to spark deeper engagement. I’m especially interested in digital rhetoric and effective prompt strategies, and in helping learners feel confident using these technologies in meaningful ways.

Looking ahead, I hope to grow into an educator and researcher who can connect research, classroom practice, and policy in meaningful ways. I’m particularly interested in how tools like large language models and data-driven insights can support both learners and teachers across different contexts. Ultimately, I’d love to teach internationally and play a role in shaping education systems that promote equity, celebrate linguistic diversity, and help every student thrive.
