About

At ISB&M, my tenure as an Assistant Professor has been distinguished by my dedication to blending media theories with practical applications. The team and I strive to cultivate an environment where storytelling and new media are central to our educational philosophy, fostering a space for future leaders in communication to thrive. My previous work experiences in social sector and academia has fortified my ability to craft compelling media narratives, a skill I now impart to my students. Together with my colleagues, we champion the use of media as an instrumental force in business journey and customer engagement, ensuring that the next generation of communicators is well-equipped to initiate cultural dialogues.
