Dr. Rosalind Vang

Director of Educational Innovation

Dr. Vang's journey from academic research to practical education began with her PhD in Behavioral Economics from Melbourne University. She spent eight years studying how people make financial decisions under pressure, work that directly influences our curriculum design today.

Her research on financial stress and decision-making has been published in twelve peer-reviewed journals. She joined torenquilavra in early 2024 to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application.
