Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I am a professional librarian so I teach information literacy skills as part of my job. I am also a qualified Reflexologist and have been giving treatments to friends and family for the past 8 years. I practice qigong exercises, particularly the ones from ancient Chinese medical and self-cultivation texts which I have been translating for the last four years as part of my PhD research at UCL. I l speak Chinese and English fluently and can communicate in Welsh as I am working in a Welsh university. At the moment, I am also learning Italian.
