Bio
I have a solid academic background in languages, education, and finance and extensive experience conducting interdisciplinary research that connects these fields. My work focuses on enhancing educational practices and financial literacy through innovative approaches integrating language acquisition with financial education. I have collaborated with various academic institutions to develop programs that empower students and educators. I am committed to staying current with emerging trends in these disciplines to provide practical and effective solutions. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an avid traveler and enjoy immersing myself in different cultures worldwide. This passion for exploration allows me to gain unique perspectives that inform my work and enrich my understanding of global education systems. Additionally, I deeply appreciate the performing arts, frequently attending theater productions and live performances. I find inspiration in these experiences, and they fuel my creativity, blending seamlessly with my academic pursuits. Fun fact: I also enjoy learning new languages, which adds another layer to my passion for communication and cultural exchange!Project ideas
Analyzing the Impact of Financial Decision-Making in Banking
This project invites students to investigate the financial decision-making processes within the banking sector, using my extensive experience as a financial analyst at Standard Chartered Bank as a foundation. Students will explore how various factors—such as market conditions, regulatory changes, and economic indicators—affect the financial strategies of banks. Through literature reviews and case studies based on historical decisions made by banks, students will analyze the outcomes and implications of these decisions. The final outcome may be a comprehensive research paper or a presentation that highlights key findings, successful strategies, and critical lessons for aspiring financial analysts.
Exploring Bilingualism and Cognitive Development
Students will investigate the cognitive benefits of bilingualism, examining how learning multiple languages influences cognitive development and problem-solving abilities. Through literature reviews and interviews with bilingual individuals, students will gather insights and data on the relationship between bilingualism and cognitive skills. The project will culminate in a research paper or presentation outlining the findings and implications of bilingualism on cognitive development.
The Role of Technology in Enhancing Student Engagement
This project invites students to explore how technology tools can boost student engagement and improve learning outcomes in the classroom. Students will research current educational technologies and gather feedback from educators through surveys or interviews to evaluate their effectiveness. The outcome may be a detailed report assessing specific tools or the creation of a workshop module aimed at training teachers on integrating technology to enhance classroom engagement.
