I explore, reflect, and create.
As an educator and researcher, I explore students’ and teachers’ experiences, reflect critically to bridge theory and practice, and create innovative solutions to enrich educational practice.
My current work focuses on Developing a holistic physical education program and Integrating AI for education and research, where I integrate philosophical inquiry, practical pedagogy, and innovative technologies.
