About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Hong Kong Baptist University, and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Applied Ethics.
I completed my Doctor of Philosophy at the University of St Andrews, and graduated from Regent College in Vancouver, Canada with a Master of Divinity. I am a FCCA (Fellow of Chartered Certified Accountant), and graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Master of Arts (Honours) in English Language.
Having lived on three different continents, I have a high level of cultural sensitivity. Having worked and studied in three different fields, I am able to bring an unique perspective from my diverse experiences. Being fluent in three languages, English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, I can connect with a wide range of individuals effectively. Education
