My academic journey, initiated with a Ph.D. in Finance from Université Clermont Auvergne, has equipped me with the analytical rigor and research capabilities essential for excelling in academia.Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated strong teaching and research competencies that align well with academic responsibilities. At GIK Institute, I developed and delivered six finance courses annually across undergraduate and graduate programs, achieving over 80% in student teaching evaluations and earning an Excellent A category rating in 2022. My role also involved mentoring undergraduate projects and Ph.D. theses.My research papers in journals such as the Journal of Business Ethics, Finance Research Letters, and Economics Letters underline my commitment to high-quality research, a trait that corresponds with a research-driven environment. My dedication to this field is underscored by seven publications in peer-reviewed journals and the prestigious PRI Award for Outstanding Research in 2019 from the Principles for Responsible Investment. Additionally, my current research projects align well with the values and focus of academia, particularly in sustainable finance and corporate environmental performance. For instance, my ongoing project examines the benefits of workforce diversity and inclusion on corporate environmental performance, contributing to the discourse on the importance of human resource policies in shaping environmental strategies.My proficiency in financial modeling, regression analysis, and data analysis using EViews, Stata, and R further aligns with the analytical skills required for my position.
