Mandate: Prepare the next generation of practitioners to be adaptable, critical, and ready for a rapidly changing industry.
Why I teach
Teaching is one of the most direct ways to give back — and one of the most honest ways to test what you actually know. Preparing a class forces articulation that practice alone rarely demands. It deepens the teacher as much as it develops the student.
I am drawn to mature crowds: working professionals, career changers, people already navigating real constraints. The classroom becomes a space to connect theory to friction they are living. That tension makes the teaching sharp.
There is also a compounding logic I believe in: when you level up a few people, you level up the organization they belong to.

HEC Montréal
Guest Lecturer · Master's UX & Business Analyst Certificate
The same subject, two very different rooms. For the UX cohort, the conversation was craft and governance. For the business analyst certificate, it was business logic and alignment. Adapting both made the material stronger for each.
Teaching is how I give back to a field that shaped me — and how I stay honest about what I know. Every class is a reminder that expertise is not a destination. It is a practice.
