It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome the honor of being selected as the Balsamo Asian Scholar for the upcoming JALT Conference, where I will have the opportunity to showcase my work and advocate for greater agency and autonomy among English language teachers in Laos. As a leader, I strive to embody the principles of professional independence, resilience, and empowering educators—values essential for advancing English language teaching and student learning in resource-limited contexts.
