I am an entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial educator, currently working as a Sustainability Education & Innovation Lead at TU Dublin’s Office of the VP for Sustainability where I support colleagues from across the university to integrate education for sustainability and global citizenship into their practice meaningfully though competency-building approaches.
My areas of teaching, research & collaborations include social entrepreneurship and impact, circular and regenerative approaches to business, education for sustainability and innovative pedagogical approaches for transformative learning. My focus has been on empowering learners with entrepreneurial mindsets to address complex social, environmental and economic challenges.
Together with my colleague, Olivia Freeman, we have been experimenting with different embodied approaches to introducing doughnut economics to students, colleagues and communities. Our favourite is 'step into the doughnut' which we have delivered to almost 40 groups so far!
