As a bilingual educational leader, I drive curriculum innovation, lead diverse teams, and orchestrate whole-school events that promote cultural awareness and community engagement. My leadership centers on collaboration, uniting colleagues and external stakeholders to create inclusive, dynamic learning environments where bilingualism enhances both academic achievement and real-world connections.With experience as the Key Language teacher in the Murray River region and president of the Chinese Language Teachers Association (CLTASA), I’ve honed my ability to lead large bilingual initiatives, mentor educators, and advocate for language education. Under my leadership, CLTASA has expanded its influence on Chinese language and culture teaching, while I’ve shared my expertise at national and state conferences.By fostering strategic partnerships and implementing bilingual-focused initiatives, I empower students and staff to deepen their engagement with learning, promoting a culture of lifelong growth and intercultural competence.Recent Professional Development & Awards - 2024 Inaugural Oceania Chinese Conference Presenter, “Differentiation in Action: Innovations in Task Design and Assessment for Chinese Language Teaching”, National University of Canberra- 2023 Australia-China Digital BRIDGE Program Participants, Asia Education Foundation - 2022 National Workshop Presenter, Chinese Language Teacher's Federation of Austalia 27th National Conference, Melbourne- 2022 State Workshop presenter, Chinese Language Teachers Association of South Australia, State Conference, Adelaide- 2019 Term 1 SA Chinese Language Teachers Association PD Presenter;- 2018 State Workshop Presenter, Chinese Language Teachers Association of South Australia, State Conference, Adelaide; - 2018 National Workshop Presenter, Chinese Language Teacher's Federation of Australia 22nd National Conference, Canberra;- 2018 TESOL Term 1 Workshop Presenter, Chinese Teachers Association Term 1 & 2 Workshop Presenter- 2015 Nominated South Australian Excellence in Public Education Awards, South Australia Department of Education and Child Development;***For a full description of the Professional Development & Awards, please DM
