I have gained an effective communication skill. I have always received good feedback from students in my classes. Furthermore, a parents contacted me after I completed a class at Steven Academy and thanked me for teaching his son in person. During my Ph.D study, I received 5 oral presentation awards and was invited to give a 5-min TED style talk. Regarding my research project, I have to work as a team so communication is critical of making a good progress.

The main factor for these rewards comes from my resonant skill to others. Having studied different engineering disciplines (environmental, chemical and bioengineering), I am very open to accept the difference. I also learned how to lead others in their own professional development through the use of skills and practices of professional coaching. I practiced my coaching skill to coach two Ph.D. students with their goal achieved.

I am very committed to getting the job done. I am fast-paced and punctual and move into the action quickly. This allows me to win the National Cancer Institute annual project. My strong analytical skill is built in the last 5 years of research experience in cancer diagnostics and bone tissue engineering with two published research articles.
