À propos

Introduction

I am a PhD-qualified Learning & Development professional and instructional designer with a strong academic foundation in History and Geography didactics. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked internationally across education, hospitality, and digital learning, helping institutions and professionals design engaging, technology-driven learning experiences. My expertise lies in connecting humanities-based critical thinking with cutting-edge learning innovation—using AI, data, and EdTech tools to create meaningful, learner-centered training. I’ve led workshops on AI in education, digital pedagogy, and flipped learning, while also supporting organizations in developing curricula and training strategies that build both knowledge and cultural awareness. I believe that the analytical depth of History and Geography—understanding systems, patterns, and human behavior—provides powerful insights for how people learn and adapt. I integrate these perspectives into every project I lead, from curriculum design to trainer development frameworks and AI-enhanced learning ecosystems. Key Areas of Expertise: AI in Education | Learning & Development Strategy | Instructional Design | Curriculum Innovation | Digital Pedagogy | Trainer Development | Humanities-Based Learning | EdTech Integration | Cross-Cultural Communication
