Academia has always been part of my DNA. Growing up in a family of educators, I somehow knew I’d end up in a classroom one way or another. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to teach and lecture in the U.S., France, and Spain, working with students from all corners of the world. My passion covers global sports and international development. Whether I’m breaking down the complexities of the NCAA, analyzing the expansion of global leagues, or exploring how sports brands shape culture worldwide, I try to bring real-world insights into every conversation.

I’m currently pursuing a PhD at Seton Hall University, driven by the same curiosity (and stubbornness) that got me into sports in the first place. Teaching keeps me sharp, grounded, and constantly learning—and I genuinely love helping students connect the dots between theory and the real world.
