Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

I hold my Ph.D in Economics from Renmin University of China, Master of Economics from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) from the University of British Columbia, and B.A. in Archival Studies from Nanjing University. I have worked at Laurier since 2015.
The main focuses of my current research are academic librarianship, diversity in libraries, and information seeking behaviours.
