She completed her doctorate studies at Hong Kong University where she investigated the impact of business communication on in-house courses in Hong Kong workplaces. She has published widely on business English in the workplace with specific reference to the business processing outsourcing industry (BPO) in Asia, and on how business English communication is being impacted by technology.
