I am an Educational Psychologist, Coach, writer, and creative practitioner passionate about human-centered higher education and transformative teaching.

​

My work focuses on helping scholars and university lecturers become authentic, reflective, and impactful educators. Not only experts in their field, but educators who create meaningful learning experiences grounded in curiosity, emotional intelligence, and human connection.

​

Research across educational psychology, neuroscience, and history consistently shows that people learn best through trust, reflection, interaction, and meaningful engagement. In this case, the university scholar. Education is not simply about transferring information. It is about shaping human potential, intellectual curiosity, ethical understanding, and future society.

​

For more than two decades, I have worked across Scandinavian, Australian and international educational contexts exploring reflective pedagogy, professional formation, relational learning, and the emotional and cultural dimensions of teaching and leadership.

​

My work combines:

• educational psychology,

• reflective teaching practice,

• emotional intelligence,

• creativity,

• intercultural understanding,

• and human-centered learning design.
   

I am particularly interested in how higher education evolves in the AI era and how universities can preserve humanity, meaning, ethical responsibility, and authentic connection within increasingly technological learning environments. I am exploring all of this in my blog here.

​

Alongside my educational work, I have spent much of my life exploring the intersection between history, culture, identity, and creativity. Since the mid-1990s, I have travelled extensively throughout Europe and beyond, studying cultural narratives, intellectual history, memory, and the ways stories shape both individual and collective identity. These explorations inspired my bestselling book, The Hidden Camino, as well as years of writing and historical reflection through my former Herstory blog. My creative practice continues through writing, collage art, and interdisciplinary exploration connecting culture, education, psychology, and the human experience.
