About me

My teaching contributions have focused on helping students understand theories and models that explain a range of phenomena related to student and employee behavior, as well as issues concerning business continuity and sustainability. To achieve this, I have incorporated diverse teaching resources and strategies that connect theoretical foundations with real-world situations and challenges.
The increasing integration of information and communication technologies has significantly transformed teaching and learning strategies. These technologies not only create more dynamic and interactive learning environments but also facilitate access to information and foster greater student participation. In this context, the Internet and smartphones have become valuable educational tools. By effectively integrating these resources into my teaching practice, I have been able to enhance students’ interest in the topics covered in class, encourage active participation, and promote a more interactive and student-centered learning experience.
