As a core team member of the Transition Makers Toolbox, I enjoy collaborating with fellow educators to refine the learning activities for the Toolbox. My own teaching focuses on equipping future life scientists and psychobiology students with the skills they need to tackle complex societal challenges in their careers. I like to develop workshops and courses that put professional skills center stage, helping students prepare for real-world situations.
In my research, I investigate how pedagogical approaches and activities to promote inner development for sustainability impact personal growth, as well as concrete methods for measuring their effectiveness.
As an educational advisor, I collaborate with teachers to design transdisciplinary education that connects academic learning to real-world challenges. I believe universities have a responsibility to contribute to society by applying knowledge in meaningful ways. Our students are driven and full of potential—I want to equip them with the skills and insights to truly make a difference.
In 2011, I shifted my focus to human and team development, with an emphasis on coaching and education. Since then, I've incorporated inner development into my management style, course designs and mentoring by embracing new experiences, exploring new places and connecting with nature. Establishing nurturing habits has been key to my development.
