Zhi received a Ph.D. in Administration of Post-secondary Education from the University of Alberta (U of A). Her research interests primarily focus on policy studies and strategies for internationalization of higher education and cross-cultural communication. Zhi has taught graduate-level courses in international and adult education, provided teacher training on pedagogy and methodologies, and is
currently the instructor for EXT 300: Global Perspectives. Zhi strongly believes that a critical outcome of the U of A experience is for the graduating students to develop interest and competencies in engaging professionally and socially with diverse communities in Canada and around the world. She is committed to engaging and helping students develop and enhance intercultural competencies and enabling them to succeed in an increasingly internationalized job market and act as responsible citizens in global and local communities.
