A LIFE ACROSS BORDERS
 
Having lived on three different continents and in more than ten countries, I have been fortunate to experience a wide range of cultures, languages, and perspectives. These experiences have not only shaped the way I communicate across boundaries, but also continually challenged and enriched my own assumptions and believes. 
​
I have always been deeply enthusiastic about exploring new environments and connecting with people from diverse background. I am especially driven by the opportunity to learn from others, whether through research collaborations, classroom discussions, or everyday interactions. At the same time, I find great fulfillment in using my research and teaching to support those around me.

This global exposure has made me aware of some of the most pressing social and environmental challenges of our time, including poverty and climate change. I see research not as an abstract academic exercise, but as a vehicle for meaningful and lasting change, especially for those who are most affected by systemic injustices.
​
While I consider myself a global citizen, much of my research and then teaching insights are rooted in Asia, where I believe my work can make a tangible difference. It is in this continent that I feel most inspired and committed to contributing to a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world.
