Before joining UBC, I have worked in the post-secondary education field for more than ten years serving both as a senior lecturer and an acting head of the Media and Communication Department and Cambodia Communication Institute at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. I received a Master of Educational Leadership and Management from La Trobe University (Australia) and a Master of Arts in Southeast Asian and International Studies from Ohio University (USA). Alongside my current studies, I am also a graduate research assistant in Dr. Lesley Andres’s 23-year longitudinal Paths on Life’s Way research project.

Toward a functional higher education system in Cambodia: A blueprint for the future. The purpose of this research is to develop a blueprint for a higher education system that is appropriate for Cambodia’s political circumstances, economic conditions, and socio-cultural factors, drawing from the “Confucian model,” the current features and trends in international higher education sector, and the community college system in British Columbia.
