Background

I’m currently enrolled in a Master of Education in Early Childhood and just started my first year. I have a Bachelor Degree of Primary Education and I’ve been an English teacher for over ten years. I’ve done my practice experience in public elementary school then worked most of the time in language training centers. In recent years, I feel limited in using English to teach children both language skills and knowledge about world culture. Thus, I decide to pursue further education at Monash which has world-regarded pedagogic courses to get a truly international literacy and the highest quality of instruction. I expect to become a professional educator in the future and make some contributions in the education field in my country.

Aristotle once said, “The essence of life is to serve others and do good.” As a representative of MGAEC, I’ll be your voice and ensure you all be heard above all else when it comes to improving Uni lives. I’ll dedicate myself and make great efforts to promote every graduate student’s well-being.

Personal Interests

I am a coffee lover and often go to different cafes to explore the best coffee in Melbourne in my free time. I also like to hang out with friends to attend social and cultural events in the city. During vacation, I prefer traveling to new countries and cities because it is always the best way to gain new knowledge, enjoy life experience and broaden the horizon.
