My profile

Biography

I am an entrepreneurship scholar and my current research examines the intersections across relational worldviews, Indigenous entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship process under Chile’s Mapuche context. I specifically adopt a narrative approach through storytelling within my research. I am interested in developing and collaborating research projects with a focus on critical perspectives of entrepreneurship and application of advanced qualitative methods. 

I recently completed my PhD with University of Liverpool Management School. Prior to that, I have worked extensively with small enterprises within Northwest region to help their businesses development. I also had five years of work experience as senior project manager within an international environmental consultancy focusing on developing carbon offsetting projects worldwide.

I am also a visiting scholar (2024) appointed by Europe Council of Small Business and Entrepreneurship with Audencia Business School in France. ECSB Visiting Scholar Programme | European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship

I hold both MBA (with distinction) from Lancaster University and Master of Environmental Management from Duke University.
