Introduction
Kammy has received academic and professional training from local and U.K. universities. Currently, she has been pursuing a doctorate degree in Education in University of Bristol. She has strong passion for teaching. Psychology is her favourite subject in which she has been impressed by theories and knowledge to understand human beings and explain their minds, behaviours, and feelings in a deeper sense. The motivation of leading the next generation of students to the next level – being their “better me” has driven her to educate and care about them whole-heartedly. Her research interests lie in self-compassion (in the area of psychology) as well as digital technology-mediated teaching and learning in higher education (in the area of education). She has devoted to doing research on teaching and learning. She is the Principal Investigator of “Digital Pedagogy: Exploring the Effectiveness of Social Media in Teaching and Learning”, which is funded by the Leaders of Learning Cluster Grants (2017/18). She is also funded by Student Affairs Office to organize workshops and activities to promote positive development of mental health in the university community.
