I'm a Senior Lecturer in Psychology. My main responsibilities are to assist students, to teach diploma and degree courses, maintain quality of courses, take workshops and conduct research for publication.

Past experience:

I enjoy teaching very much: I learn a lot, and it’s rewarding to see students have insights and realize their career goals. I enjoy research too because it’s a challenge to be original, order my thoughts, and get published (see two of my most recent articles below).
