College of Education

I am a third generation Chinese Malaysian. Both sets of my grandparents immigrated to the Malayan Peninsular in the 1910s from southern China. Malaya gained independence from the British in 1957; together with two other states, Malaysia was formed. I attended elementary school that used Mandarin as the medium of instruction. My secondary and college education was completed in English and Malay, the official language of Malaysia. 

I joined the faculty of the College of Education at OSU as Professor of Counselor Education in September 2013. My spouse and I were married in August 2004.
