Selected Works

My work explores one central question: How can children become the foundation for human flourishing? Across research, teaching, leadership and strategy, each project investigates this question from a different perspective.

Are children fully Human or Not-Yet Human?

A 100 page graduate thesis based on empirical and philosophical evidence, establishing the humanity of children and therefore what it means to have a child-centred educative environment.

The Play Archive

I am heading long-term interdisciplinary research investigating why children play, what child-initiated play reveals about human development and the long term impact of democratic and free play on existence and future playing societies.

Philosophy & Research Curriculum

I developed an original inquiry-based philosophy & research curriculum across 4 age groups. Each syllabus is constructivist in nature and made to fit typical school semesters. It includes resources, inquiry strategies, documentation guide, actionable assessment and teaching strategies. Responding to teachers feedback, the curriculum is adaptive to diverse learners, practical, and works with the confines of teaching time and personnel.

Teacher Professional Learning and Development

I design and facilitate teacher professional learning that is practical, research-informed, and deeply reflective. This professional development serves as an existential grounding for teachers from which they can anchor and navigate all other professional learning and school philosophy. My goal is to bridge educational and ontological theory and philosophy with real-world application, so that both teachers and children's existential needs and questions are jointly fulfilled. Through coaching, collaborative inquiry, and evidence-based strategies, I equip teachers with the confidence, critical thinking, pedagogical and existential expertise to create meaningful, child-centred learning environments that drive lasting impact.

Educational Strategy

I partner with school leaders and C-suite executives to develop and align distinctive vision, pedagogy, and organisational goals, conjoining long-term humane impact and market competitiveness. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and international experience, I help leaders navigate complex educational challenges, identify opportunities for innovation, and translate evidence into clear, actionable strategies. My approach enables organisations to strengthen teaching quality, enhance learner outcomes, and build future-ready educational ecosystems grounded in child-centred excellence.
