Other Activities

Alongside my advisory and training work in speechwriting and public speaking, I remain actively engaged in higher education and research. At present, I teach two university courses: Cultural Diplomacy as part of the Master of Advanced International Studies at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna; and Social Inequalities and Environmental Justice as part of the Social Work degree at Hochschule Burgenland. I also support diplomatic academies with curricular development, helping them integrate effective teaching and learning approaches into their programmes.

My broader research focuses on cultural diplomacy, examining how music and dance can be used to advance clearly defined foreign policy objectives. This has been supported by a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science fellowship (2025), which enabled extended fieldwork at Expo 2025 Osaka.

I wrote my MA thesis in Teaching and Learning on the use of arts-based pedagogies to build critical skills among human rights activists. This work, along with my strong interest in arts-based and embodied learning methods, continues to inform both my university teaching and my approaches to training design and delivery. I continue to present at conferences and publish work related to cultural diplomacy and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

In parallel, I train military gender advisors for UN peacekeeping forces (UNITAR), drawing on the same core skill that underpins all my work: supporting people to communicate effectively across difference. This is grounded in my core values of creativity, equity, integrity, transparency, and confidentiality, which guide both my practice and my partnerships.
