About
As a dedicated educator and PhD candidate in Asia-Pacific Studies at National Chengchi University, Taiwan, I specialize in International Relations, with an emphasis on the Asia-Pacific and Europe, research design and methods, as well as counseling on course papers and theses. With degrees in Strategic and Security Studies, International Relations, and European Studies, alongside several peer-reviewed publications, I bring a rich, comprehensive academic foundation to my teaching. In the classroom, I employ a variety of interactive and student-centered teaching methods to foster an environment conducive to critical thinking and engaged learning. My goal is to not only impart knowledge but also to cultivate analytical skills and a deep, structured understanding of global affairs, preparing students to become the next generation of influential scholars and practitioners in their respective fields. Over the years, I have successfully helped students significantly improve their grades and pass crucial academic exams, such as their PhD qualifiers.
