Summary

I am an experienced academic leader, lecturing and directing the university's Centre for Languages and Communication. My passion lies in research, particularly in the complex field of rhetoric studies, within the domains of language, communication, politics, and law. I am dedicated to unraveling the subtleties of persuasive communication, linguistic expression, and their influence on our perception of politics and the legal system. Beyond my academic pursuits, I am a lifelong learner who actively seeks opportunities for knowledge expansion.
