Research

The Quest for Answers

My research draws from multiple domains, heritage, psychology, wellness, technology, and civic life, but it’s united by a core interest in how structures, cultural, technological, psychological, shape human experience, and how people reshape them in return.

I explore the intersections of history, mental health, memory, identity, and public value, often working across disciplinary boundaries to question assumptions and build new ways of understanding experience. Whether through formal academic research, practice-led inquiry, or grounded advocacy, my work focuses on bridging disciplines, questioning assumptions, and finding meaningful points of connection.
