She consolidates and standardizes data across different databases, conducts qualitative and quantitative data analyses, collaborates with colleagues to develop homegrown data tools, provides data training to administrators, provides virtual symposiums to both campus and off-campus people, and answers internal and external university surveys. She received her M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, and earned her Ph.D. in Second Language Studies at UHM.
