Profile

I “listen, reflect, and act.” As an educator and researcher in physical education, I listen to students’ and teachers’ experiences, reflect critically to deepen understanding, and act through teaching, scholarship, and dissemination to enrich educational practice.

My current work focuses on social and emotional learning in physical education, where I integrate philosophical inquiry, practical pedagogy, and innovative technologies. My goal is to bridge theory, practice, and innovation to enhance the educational experiences of both teachers and students.
