Introduction
Dr. Ho is a passionate teacher, youth worker, and researcher, who is eager to not only teach undergraduate and postgraduate students about the discipline of psychology but also reach out to teenagers, parents, and the general public, such that more people can become aware of their need for psychological well-being and how to achieve that.
Her training includes Ed.D. in educational psychology from CUHK specializing in career psychology, B.A. cum laude (Hons) in psychology from UC Berkeley specializing in consumer psychology and judgement and decision making research, M.A. in psychology from Boston University specializing in human motivation with practical training at The Hay Group/McBer & Company, and M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, specializing in New England cultural studies and youth ministry.
Relocated back to Hong Kong after 13 years’ studying/working in the US, she began to work at CityU-HK as Demonstrator/Instructor I of Psychology and Learning Enhancement and Course Examiner for Professional Internship, and at CUHK as Part-Time Lecturer (for the PGDE program) and Research Assistant at its Educational Psychology Department, and then as Postdoctoral Fellow at CityU’s City-Youth Empowerment Project, before joining Education University in 2017.
Her eclectic teaching, research, work, life, and educational experiences in the USA and Hong Kong have equipped her with a rather broad knowledge base on many topics in psychology, education, applied research, and practice. Her goal is to develop the field of psychology (especially, career intervention) and launch studies to investigate developmental pathways to vocational interest preferences and sense of efficacy. Her other research interests include service/experiential learning and the relation between diet and well-being.
