Career Goals

My career goal is to work in the LDT field and be a practitioner. For now, I'm thinking of finding a tenure-track faculty position at an institution, focusing on how designers could design strategies supporting student learning in online environments.

I also pay attention to non-tenure track positions which focus more on teaching. I enjoy interacting with students and learning from them.

​

Below are some positions that show a sense of my professional direction.
