Li completed her PhD at the University of Auckland as a Doctoral Scholar in 2023. Her thesis with publications was an innovative study of children's everyday storying in inclusive early childhood in New Zealand and Hong Kong. From her thesis, Alison has three first-author, peer-reviewed publications in international journals and has completed a fourth manuscript. Findings from her thesis have been the basis of three international and national conference presentations and multiple research seminars, workshops and guest lecturers. Concurrent with completing her full-time doctoral thesis, Alison was employed as the Research Assistant (RA) for Understand Me, an externally funded research project. Alison was integral to the collaborative, co-design work with school and university partners. If you could imagine an ideal RA who completes tasks you hadn't even imagined needed doing but you realize afterwards you couldn't do without, it would be Alison. In 2021, Alison added a new position to coordinate administrative tasks of Te Puna Reo PohewaMarie Clay Research Centre. During this same period, Alison was a Graduate Teaching Assistant and RA in multiple postgraduate and master's courses, which were offered online, hybrid, or in-person formats. Upon graduation, Alison secured a position as a Learning Technologist on the Provost's Learning and Teaching Design Team, responsible for uplifting the coherence and accessibility of Canvas LMS across the University. Alison's CV depicts her extraordinary capacity to engage in multiple, substantial projects simultaneously. As a researcher, she is intuitive, insightful and innovative. Her combined experience in teaching young children, a range of research, and teaching in higher education contribute to her expanding expertise. Alison's RA positions required high-level administrative skills to manage multiple projects and complex schedules for meetings, in-school data collection, and communication with school leaders, researchers, and sub-contractors. Alison was also a respected "thought" member of each research and teaching team. She engages in every situation as a learner who sees and acknowledges the contributions of others. While she is wrapped in humility, her deep and tacit knowledge of early childhood education, teacher education, inclusion, instructional design and technology are rare and a powerful combination. Alison has extraordinary energy, commitment, and competence and is socially astute. Any team will be better with Alison as a member. She leads by listening, ensuring that everyone belongs, and willingly sharing her depth and breadth of knowledge. Alison M-C Li. has my strongest recommendation. I have intentionally abbreviated this reference for Linkedin. I would be pleased to elaborate on Alison's specific skills and contributions to educational research, administration, communication, collaboration and instructional design for a particular position and organization."
