TEACHING

Applied teaching for decision-making, execution, and impact

I work as a professor, tutor, and instructional designer at the intersection of management, technology, education, and sustainability. I structure learning experiences focused on application: decision criteria, practical tools, evidence, and transfer to real-world contexts.
