I hold a PhD in Hospitality Studies and a Master?s degree in Tourism Management, with extensive experience in academic and administrative work. My master?s and doctoral research focused on environmental issues stemming from the tourism industry, a field I am deeply passionate about. Currently, I serve as the Head of the Hospitality Management Department. I am an ambitious, supportive, and caring individual who encourages students to overcome challenges and embrace hope. In short, I am an advocate for the environment and a promoter of sustainability and green management. I inspire my students to adopt eco-friendly practices wherever they are and in any environment they operate in.
