RISING & SHINING...

I'm honoured and excited to share that I've been selected as the fully funded candidate for the prestigious TU RISE Master by Research Scholarship at Munster Technological University within the Faculty/School of Business / Department of Management & Enterprise, Cork, Ireland.

Thank you SO much Dr Trudie Murray, for opening the door to this opportunity to co-design, develop & co-create a series of actionable tools and strategies for entrepreneurs, educators, and policymakers, supporting regenerative transitions in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

My research will focus on Nature-Inspired Entrepreneurship: Exploring Biomimicry-Driven Regenerative Business Models for Freelancers, Startups, Microbusinesses and SMEs.

I am delighted to have this time to incubate my thinking, being, and doing by leveraging nature-inspired innovation. This research seeks to empower SMEs as leaders in the shift toward a regenerative economy, fostering resilient, ethical, and financially viable businesses that deliver positive environmental and social impact. A mission that has driven my work since a very early age as an outdoor youth worker.

Massive thanks to Jan Brown for egging me onwards towards even thinking I could go for an opportunity like this and the nddge to attend a conference that led to me meeting Dr. Trudie...

SO it goes without saying I'm eager to get going in Cork, Ireland and build out my work developing sustainable and regenerative practices, starting this September!

NEW SEMESTER GROWTH INCOMING...
