This research aims to shape brain-compatible policies that lead to improved economic outcomes.Mental Wellbeing in Education:Effective learning goes beyond academic content. I integrate mental wellbeing strategies into my pedagogy, equipping students with tools to manage stress, enhance focus, and build cognitive resilience. This approach fosters well-rounded professionals who are both knowledgeable and mentally resilient.My goal is to transform finance and decision sciences education, developing leaders who can navigate complex financial landscapes while maintaining mental and emotional balance.
