With a robust academic background in Social Sciences, Marketing, and Psychology, I am ​currently managing and executing three government-funded mental health projects. As a ​seasoned Teaching Assistant at HKUST and EdUHK, I have enriched the academic ​journey of undergraduates.


My research, conducted in Hong Kong, the UK, Japan, and Taiwan, has yielded several ​peer-reviewed articles.


As a dedicated advocate for knowledge dissemination, I am regularly invited to speak at ​a variety of workshops and conferences, engaging diverse audiences ranging from ​academic peers to the general public.


I believe empirical research is a powerful tool for driving meaningful societal change.
