My research interests are on the power of digital discourse and its impact on higher education, particularly in the context of social media and international education experiences. I am interested in how digital platforms shape students' academic and social lives, influencing their sense of identity, community, and knowledge-sharing practices. Additionally, I explore creative qualitative research methods to better understand these digital interactions and the implications in AI area. By examining how international students engage with social media throughout their academic journeys, my work aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of digital literacy, academic belonging, and support systems in higher education.
