Education and Research Coordinator, Rikkyo University

Career Trajectory

When I started the doctoral program in EDEF in 2017, I was taking ELI courses to improve my English skills, and I felt I was always behind compared to other students. But the professors and classmates always acknowledged and supported my own development in my own pace. This nurturing environment of EDEF helped me to learn what it means to have good education. I am currently working at Rikkyo University in Tokyo to support undergraduate students who are trying to be elementary school teachers. Further, I am also working on exciting research projects with Dr. Baoyan Cheng and Dr. Di Xu. I am grateful for the department that takes good care of their relationships with the students!
