Academic life is important for several reasons, encompassing both personal and professional growth as well as contributing to the broader field.

I never stop studying, it is one of my passions and when we work with people, I don’t see another way of doing it.

Core work fields: mental health; education; psychology (social, clinical and organizational); human resources; digital transformation; leadership and management; project management; sustainable development goals; international organizations, non-profit organizations, governmental organizations, private sectors.
