Profile
As a devoted interdisciplinary scholar, I am driven by a passion for discovery and rigorous research. Originality guides my research, as I seek to unearth insights that enrich both academic and professional communities, fostering discussions that elevate our collective understanding.
My second role is serving as an adviser in international relations, where I bridge this expertise with valuable insights for the business community, particularly focusing on the concept of management by leadership within the context of international relations.
I graduated from the College of Banking in Prague with a bachelor’s degree in banking management. Afterwards, I pursued further academic studies and completed a Master of Arts (MA) degree in International Policy and Diplomacy from Staffordshire University, United Kingdom. Currently, I am studying for a Doctorate (PhD) in International Relations and European Studies at the Metropolitan University Prague.
I deeply enjoy preparing and delivering advanced lectures, sharing my expertise, and engaging students, business professionals, and those in diplomatic and political circles with compelling presentations. Additionally, I have a strong passion for public speaking.
I produce and host IR thinker, an esteemed international talk show where I engage in thought-provoking conversations with leading experts in international affairs, offering nuanced perspectives on global dynamics.
