My Educational Philosophy and Multidisciplinary Approach

With my educational background including a Master of Science in Psychology, a Master of Laws in Intellectual Property, and a Bachelor in Law, I am dedicated to a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach to education. My expertise in Neuropsychology and professional development in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program deeply informs our curriculum, ensuring it is both academically robust and cognitively enriching.

Pursuing a PhD in Educational Management, I am continuously seeking innovative methods to enhance our school's learning environment and leadership, ensuring that International School Maximilian remains a beacon of educational innovation and excellence.
