Academic background

From PR to PR/OJECT MANAGEMENT — to research.

Education has always been fundamental to my growth, shaping my path from PR to PR/OJECT MANAGEMENT, and now to MANAGEMENT studies.

My PhD research focuses on “Sustainable Management in the GIG Economy: GIG vs. Traditional Business Models in the Delivery Sector.” Alongside research, I teach — combining academic theory with insights from my professional journey.
