Teaching
My passion and purpose is to bring education to the world and it is a great privilege for me to be part of the educational journey of the next generation of humans.
My teaching content focuses on marketing and management related subjects, specifically focusing on customer experience, design thinking, innovation, trends, consulting projects, research methods, eTourism and digital transformation. All content is grounded in an interdisciplinary approach, combining my research and theories from marketing, services marketing, digital marketing, management, economy, psychology and design, and applying these to the contexts of tourism, leisure and events, and the general service sector at large.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.
