My journey into the world of education and language began in the beautiful city of Dalat, Vietnam, where I pursued my Bachelor's degree in English Linguistics at Dalat University. It was an incredibly formative time, filled with curiosity, hard work, and growth. In 2014, I graduated as the top student in my class, a moment that marked the beginning of a deeper commitment to education.
After my undergraduate studies, I ventured abroad to Taipei, Taiwan, where I completed my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Living in a different country and immersing myself in a new culture allowed me to expand my perspectives on language learning and education. My passion for teaching and understanding how people learn languages continued to deepen, and this curiosity would shape the path I would follow.
In 2019, I moved to Melbourne, Australia, to further pursue a Doctor of Philosophy program at Monash University where I began my extensive research into educational psychology, language education, and technology. My studies have focused on how emotions and individual differences play a crucial role in learning, and more recently, how emerging technologies, such as generative AI, can be used to enhance education. These research interests have driven much of my work, allowing me to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in language education and technology integration.
Through my research and teaching, I hope to continue helping students and educators understand how we can harness both our emotional intelligence and technological advancements to create more effective and inclusive learning environments. Education, to me, is not just about imparting knowledge—it's about understanding the unique experiences, emotions, and strengths each individual brings to the learning process.
