Auszug aus dem wissenschaftlichen Werdegang

Following my Bachelor and Graduate year studies in Psychology in Australia in the late 1990’s, I shifted my focus and became a professional Opera Singer for 10 years, not quite completing my Opera degree, but I did manage to work at the Sydney Opera House for 8 years. After moving to Europe in 2015, I completed a master’s in human resource management and moved into academia lecturing in body language and English presentation skills, which has led to a permanent position at Hochschule Burgenland in International Business Communication. While I do not have a classic Academic career path, I have synthesized all my experiences and bring value from many different fields to the academic world. My future research will focus on Soft Skills and their development in this age of AI. Where and how they can be enhanced for students during university level study and beyond.
