TEACHING
My teaching philosophy centers on fostering critical thinking, encouraging creativity, and bridging theory with real-world applications. Across various institutions, I have taught a broad range of courses in entrepreneurship, economics, and business, with a focus on equipping students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in dynamic environments. My goal is to create an engaging and inclusive classroom that empowers students to explore diverse perspectives and apply what they learn to complex challenges.
I am currently the Chair of the Teaching Committee for the Entrepreneurship Division at the Academy of Management, wherein I organize entrepreneurship pedagogy-focused events, connecting scholars and practitioners worldwide.
