Giving students and teams a toolkit—not merely to survive but to succeed—has been a consistent theme throughout my work in education and IT leadership.
My teaching experience spans five years in China and the United States, where I learned that engagement depends heavily on cultural context, language, and trust. I design learning environments that emphasize collaboration, practical application, and clarity over rote memorization.
Working extensively with Chinese university students shaped my understanding of how authority, communication, and learning styles differ across cultures. I learned to reduce friction by adapting assessment models, incorporating project-based learning, and using technology to bridge language gaps.
Personality assessments consistently describe me as organized, dependable, socially engaged, and emotionally steady. I lead with empathy and structure, aiming to create environments where people feel safe asking questions, collaborating, and improving together.
These traits have served me well in high-trust environments where clarity, humility, and follow-through matter more than ego or noise.
