Why I Am Excited About a Multi-Passionate Future
Looking Ahead: Embracing a Multi-Passionate Future
If there is one thing I have learned from my journey so far, it is that careers don’t always move in a straight line — and that’s okay. In fact, I have realised that a non-linear path is natural and is where the most exciting opportunities are found.
As someone who has moved between language teaching, psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and neurodiversity advocacy, I have been fortunate to explore different worlds. But instead of feeling like I need to “choose one thing”, I am learning to embrace my multi-passionate identity and build a future that weaves these threads together.
So, what’s next? Here are some of the projects, ideas, and directions I am excited to explore:
1. Researching Neurodiversity in Language Learning
One of the areas I care deeply about is how neurodivergent individuals — especially children and language learners — experience learning. As both a researcher and an educator, I want to bridge the gap between academic research and real-life classroom practices.
In the future, I hope to investigate 1. How bilingual or multilingual children with neurodivergent profiles (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, autism) learn languages, including the cognitive and neural mechanisms involved; 2. Collaborate with teachers and schools to co-design inclusive language learning strategies that genuinely work for neurodivergent learners; 3. Create and share practical guides or toolkits for educators to support diverse learners in the classroom.
This work combines my interests in psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and education and reflects my belief that everyone deserves to thrive in learning and not just fit into a narrow mold.
2. Designing Creative Tools for Neurodivergent Learners
As someone who loves both science and creativity, I’m also dreaming about developing tools and products that make learning more accessible, joyful, and brain-friendly.
Some ideas on my horizon include: 1. Language learning kits designed for neurodivergent learners — using visuals, games, and multisensory materials; 2. Self-care and productivity tools (like planners, cards, and visual schedules) created with neurodivergent brains in mind; 3. Art-inspired educational resources, combining neuroscience, language, and creative design.
I imagine these as beautiful, practical tools — not only to support learning but also to empower neurodivergent individuals to embrace their unique strengths.
3. Sharing Knowledge: Writing, Speaking, and Community Building
One of my goals moving forward is to communicate complex ideas in accessible ways so that research doesn’t stay locked in academic papers but reaches those who can use it in daily life.
To do this, I plan to 1. Write blogs and articles on topics like neurodiversity, language learning, cognitive science, and education; 2. Possibly start a podcast or video series, where I can share insights, interview experts, and highlight voices of neurodivergent learners; 3. Offer workshops and talks for educators, parents, and learners on how to create more inclusive learning environments.
I want to build bridges between disciplines and communities because I believe that when people from different backgrounds come together, we can create real change.
4. Continuing to Learn and Grow
Finally, I know that my journey is still unfolding. I want to keep learning, experimenting, and evolving. This includes: 1. Continuing to study neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and neurodiversity — possibly leading to a PhD focused on neurodivergent learners and language acquisition. 2. Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, including psychologists, educators, artists, and technologists. 3. Staying open to unexpected opportunities — because sometimes, the best paths are the ones we don’t plan.
Conclusion: An Invitation to Connect and Co-Create
As I look ahead, I’m excited about all these possibilities — but I also know I don’t want to do this alone. I’m hoping to connect with others who share my passions for neurodiversity, language, brain science, and creativity. Whether you’re a researcher, educator, parent, artist, neurodivergent individual, or simply someone who cares about inclusive learning, I’d love to hear from you.
Let us create, explore, and imagine new futures together — because when we embrace diverse minds and non-linear paths, we all grow stronger.
If you are interested in collaborating, sharing ideas, or just chatting, feel free to reach out! I am always open to connecting with like-minded souls.
