I joined the College immediately after completing my master's degree, initially focusing on teaching basic medical sciences. During my career, I developed a strong interest in senior health issues and then pursued a doctoral degree in gerontology. Since then, I have been dedicated to teaching, researching, and providing social services related to senior care and healthy ageing.

I am delighted that several of my research findings have become references for relevant policies of the Macao SAR Government. Currently, as a representative of the College, I serve as a member of the Seniors Affair Committee of the Macau SAR Government and Vice-President of the World Congress on Long Term Care in Chinese Communities. I hope to utilise my professional knowledge and research achievements to enhance the well-being of older adults.
