Teaching Portfolio
Between July 2020 - 2025, I have taught and assisted in undergraduate and postgraduate courses within the Department of Communications and New Media at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Each academic year, I teach for over 230 hours, engaging with more than 200 students across both undergraduate and master’s (by coursework) programmes. My teaching approach emphasises critical reflection and applied learning.
In recognition of teaching excellence, I am a three-time recipient of the Graduate Student Teaching Award and have been listed on the Honour Roll for sustained high performance in teaching.
Beyond the classroom, I also serve as Secretary to the Academic Director (Graduate Programmes by Coursework), where I transcribe and disseminate minutes for the graduate steering committee, among other administrative coordination duties that support the programme.
