I cover entrepreneurship, organizational leadership, marketing, and research methods through a practitioner lens. Specific topics include launching and scaling international non-profits, cross-border team leadership and board governance, strategic fundraising and ethical global marketing, and designing qualitative case studies. Every topic connects academic theory directly to live operational realities.

I could deliver lectures on environmental science, soil and water chemistry, and sustainability. My areas of expertise include the effects of plastics and microplastics on soil systems, the use of biochar in environmental management, phosphorus transport from soil to water, soil and water quality, and sustainable approaches to managing environmental pollution. I would also be happy to tailor a lecture to the subject matter and learning objectives of a particular course.
