Academic Papers

My academic journey began unconventionally, as a music teacher with initial reservations about the necessity of formal qualifications. This perspective evolved, leading me to pursue a Master's degree and subsequently, a PhD. The academic papers I authored for the ALCM(TD) and LLCM(TD) teaching diplomas proved pivotal, facilitating my transition into academia and contributing to my first dissertation. Following the completion of my Master's dissertation, I dedicated significant time to developing my understanding of research methodology and the nuances of scholarly writing at the doctoral level. I applied this new knowledge to two Fellowships before embarking on a doctoral programme. This process has been an immensely enriching experience, with every stage contributing valuable insights. I eagerly anticipate the next chapter of this journey in 2025.
