Scholarship
WRITING
My scholarship explores the intersections of education, technology, spirituality, and social media, with a focus on reimagining how we teach, learn, and connect in diverse contexts. My work spans peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and conference presentations, blending rigorous research with creative approaches to communication. Each link to my writing is paired with a comic cover co-designed with AI—an imaginative and playful way to bring academic ideas to life and invite readers into the conversation.
