Expertise

My current research interest is the exploration of how Empathy, Humility, and Optimism collectively impact and transform our world through the achievements and accomplishments of individual citizens--it's been said that the world will be saved through optimism and a million small things.

Other areas of interests include the exploration of the rise and role of celebrity philanthropists; constructivist approaches to pedagogy development and curriculum improvements in online courses; compassionate cosmopolitanism; and the contextual conditions of legacy, institutions, and influence in strategic environment analysis.
