Background

I obtained undergraduate/graduate degrees in Business and Human Resource Management and hold fifteen years of work experience in higher education institutions in three different countries. I am pursuing my academic career in the Ph.D. Technology, Policy, and Innovation program at Stony Brook University to merge Business and Technology fields with a holistic, multidisciplinary, and diverse understanding. Academia is life for me, and life is an endless learning journey. I, therefore, seek knowledge to enlighten myself and others' ways. 

I am married, a mother of two lovely children, a tea lover, and a New Yorker.
