About me

I hold a diploma in Teaching French as a Foreign Language (DAEFLE) from the Alliance Française and a Master’s degree in Linguistics and Didactics of French as a Foreign Language from the University of Artois in France. My final thesis at the University of Hong Kong focused on the material applications of complex didactics, exploring concepts like eclecticism and interculturality.

Before joining the department in 2022, I had the opportunity to teach at several universities, including the University of Hong Kong, where I served as a teacher and programme coordinator from 2013 to 2022. Additionally, I held positions at the Language Centre of Hong Kong Baptist University, the HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the CUHK School of Continuing & Professional Studies, and the University of Wollongong Australia College Hong Kong (formerly the Community College of City University).
