About

Accounting education shaped by professional learning, student success, and evidence-informed practice.

I am a Senior Lecturer of Accounting and Director of the Master of Professional Accounting program at the School of Accountancy, Singapore Management University. My work centers on helping students build strong accounting foundations, connect technical concepts to professional judgment, and prepare for meaningful careers in business.

Prior to joining SMU, I received my PhD in Accounting and Master in Professional Accounting from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. I also hold a BBA in Accounting from Thammasat University.

I am a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Certified in Strategy and Competitive Analysis (CSCA). I received the ICMA Board of Regents CMA Gold Medal Award and CSCA Gold Medal Award for achieving the highest exam scores globally.
