Returning to the realm of tertiary education has always been a dream for me as a business owner. The passion for imparting knowledge and the desire to explore and learn more about the innovative sharing economy never waned within me. Through a friend's recommendation, I became a part-time Lecturer at the University of Wollongong College Hong Kong (formerly Community College of City University), where the journey began.
Entering the academic industry was a challenging journey. The heavy administrative workload often made me question my career path and consider alternative options for development. Suppose you aspire to give back to the community by educating the younger generation. In that case, it’s important to remember that being a lecturer is not just about imparting academic knowledge—it requires immense patience and a commitment to nurturing growth.
While the role of a lecturer can be demanding, it is also deeply rewarding. It offers a unique opportunity to inspire, guide, and shape the future of young minds, making every challenge worthwhile.
The Digital Document Design course marked the beginning of my academic career in 2016, where I introduced students to the fundamentals of design and equipped them with technical skills in Adobe InDesign, culminating in a final project. Drawing from practical experience gained through professional work and running a business has significantly enriched my ability to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications, enhancing the preparation of lectures and tutorial materials.
This unique combination of academic expertise and real-world experience has transformed me into a dynamic and engaging lecturer who captivates students with relatable, real-life examples. By weaving personal career stories and practical insights into my teaching, I create a learning environment that is not only educational but also deeply inspiring. Students often express their appreciation for how these lived experiences bring theories to life, making complex concepts easier to understand and more meaningful. This connection fosters a genuine excitement for learning, helping students see the relevance of their education in the context of real-world challenges and opportunities.
