Biography

As the Associate Director and Senior Lecturer at the University of Hong Kong’s Common Core Office, I lead our interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary undergraduate core curriculum. My primary responsibilities involve driving teaching innovation through transdisciplinary initiatives that challenge traditional models. As a Senior Fellow of Advance HE (formerly Higher Education Academy), I champion bold experiments that blend gaming, storytelling, creative art, and artificial intelligence to reimagine the boundaries of learning experiences for students to cultivate agency. 

The focus of my research explores the futures of education through a sociological and philosophical lens, asking critical questions about where learning is headed next. I earned my PhD in Education and a Master of Applied Finance from the University of Queensland, with degrees in biochemistry and economics.

Before finding my home in academia, I spent over 15 years in banking, corporate learning and development, and entrepreneurship. My early career was grounded in both the business/financial analysis and relationship management side of commercial banking, before transitioning into a facilitation role training bankers in the corporate university. Moving to Hong Kong, I worked in consulting for a global firm, focused on sales and leadership execution, mainly for multinational investment banks, insurance firms, and government organisations.
