ABOUT

Professional Profile

I am a doctoral researcher in Education and Pedagogy, currently completing a PhD with a focus on educational theory, pedagogy, and transformative learning, expected in 2026.

I hold a Master's degree in Education, which strengthened my expertise in curriculum studies, research-informed practice, and learner-centred pedagogy, alongside a Master's degree in History and Strategic Studies that developed my analytical, interdisciplinary, and critical research skills.

My academic foundation began with a Bachelor's degree in History Education, which provided strong grounding in teaching methodology, assessment, and educational psychology. Collectively, my academic training reflects a sustained commitment to educational research, critical inquiry, and the use of education as a tool for social development, sustainability, and human resilience.
