As a university sessional lecturer, I teach to two key units: Intro to Business Basics at stage 1 and Intro to Creative Entrepreneurship at stage 5. My teaching approach encompasses both face-to-face and online modalities, including a hybrid model that caters to diverse learning preferences.I use my expertise to present relevant material aligned with the lecture content and course objectives. Beyond the classroom, my commitment extends to marking assignments and providing constructive feedback, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.A passion for staying abreast of industry trends drives me to integrate the latest insights into my classes. I follow sustainable fashion and design pages and personalities, channeling this knowledge to empower students with a forward-thinking perspective. This not only enriches their understanding of the subject matter but also equips them with a competitive edge in an ever-evolving industry.I like to bring my own business journey and share my experiences to give students a taste of what's it really takes to run a business in the creative industries. Drawing from my own journey, especially in the dynamic realm of fashion, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice. By sharing firsthand insights, I provide students with valuable perspectives that go beyond textbooks, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities they'll encounter in their future careers.

Monique Montfroy founded Texcoco Collective to combine her love for fashion and design with environmental activism. With a background in photojournalism, travelling to far corners of the globe, she witnessed the effects of over consumption on developing nations. With the rise of awareness in global waste and environmental destruction caused by fast fashion Monique created this brand with the ethos of nurturing the earth, and not contributing to harmful plastic production.
