Assistant Professor,
I graduated from the National University of Malaysia with a Bsc(Hons) in Speech Science. After serving as a speech-language therapist for five years in a public hospital, I embarked on my Ph.D. journey in the School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham Malaysia. I have successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis in December 2023. My research interests lie at the intersection of speech-language therapy and psycholinguistics, with a focus on enhancing bilingual language processing, testing and learning.
As a psycholinguist and speech-language therapist, I am fascinated by the cognitive and linguistic mechanisms involved in bilingual language processing, particularly how bilinguals acquire, comprehend, and produce words in the languages they speak. Additionally, I have a strong passion for language testing and test validation. Much of my current work focuses on developing language tests that assess specific language constructs in understudied language pairs such as Malay-English and Mandarin-English, and conducting language experiments using these tests to investigate the relationships between different aspects of language knowledge. The greater purpose of this work is to develop evidence-informed assessments with a practical impact for both researchers and practitioners to enhance language learning in multilingual contexts, including those with learning difficulties.
