In my teaching, I contribute to the education of sport pedagogy students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I work as a postdoctoral researcher in the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, specializing in sport pedagogy. I have been involved in several research projects focusing on the development of motor skills and perceived motor competence, physical activity, and holistic well-being, as well as ways to support well-being in school communities. Currently, my research focuses on physically active mathematics, where we develop ways to support children’s mathematics learning through functional and movement-based methods.
I am a member of international research networks such as I-MDRC (The International Motor Development Research Consortium) and AIESEP (The International Organization for Physical Education in Higher Education), and I actively participate in international collaboration in the field.
