In my role as Faculty Manager, I oversee academic programs and contribute strategic advice to enhance quality assurance and academic development. My research focuses on multilingual and under-resourced higher education contexts, and I actively engage in scholarly conversations through publications and presentations. I strive to foster a culture of inquiry and collaboration within my faculty, mentoring junior researchers and integrating reflective practices into our programs.
