About me

Prior to joining Bristol Business School, I was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Victoria in Wellington (VUW), New Zealand where I was module leader for a variety of undergraduate and  postgraduate courses including Services Marketing, Research Methods, Social Marketing and Intergrated Marketing Communications. At VUW I served on the University Ethics and the Research and Study Leave Committees and repesented my School at Faculty Board Meetings. 
Early in my career at Victoria University I was elected by my academic peers as an Executive Member of the Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC). I served on the committee for six years. 
My PhD was awarded by the University of Bradford School of Management, which is where my academic career began.  Prior to my life in academia I worked as an IT analyst in London for companies such as KPMG and International Distillers. 

I lecture predominently at PG level level across a variety of Masters Marketing programmes.  At VUW, NZ and Bristol Business School I have actively sought to be involved in projects that engage with external bodies such as the Executive Development programme, Knowledge Based Transfer, the MBA and the Masters Dissertation. One of my strengths is that I enjoy the collaborative aspect of working with professionals from different disciplines. 

I am the Course Director for the following professional short courses. Introduction to Marketing, Marketing Communications, and Social Marketing: A practical approach to changing behaviour and An Introduction to Customer Relationship Management.

I would welcome applications from potential PhD candidates wishing to explore areas, which fit within my areas of interest. I have experience-supervising students to completion using different methodologies. If you are interested in having a conversation about a possible project please get in touch.

In my recreational time I enjoy running, photography and I am also a devoted beekeeper.​




Area of expertise

Sustainability Representative for the Business School. UWE is committed to creating Globally Responsible and Future-facing Graduates and as part of this is adhering to the UN PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) objectives. My task as the sustainability representative for Bristol Business School is to work with staff and assist with embracing this agenda as it offers potential for enhancing the student experience and employability and potentially staff satisfaction.  My work with lecturers and students involves identifying ways in which HE contributes to global change. 

I sit on the BBS Ethics Committee and review research proposals to assess formally if the research is ethical. This means the research must conform to recognised ethical standards, which includes respecting the dignity, rights, safety and well-being of the people who take part.

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is a research impact evaluation of British Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). I sit on the REF committee and review research submissions. 

I am the Partnership Lead Academic for the National Economics University in Vietnam. This is a well-established partner with whom UWE have been working for several years.

I am the Course Director for the following professional short courses. Introduction to Marketing, Marketing Communications, and Social Marketing: A practical approach to changing behaviour and An Introduction to Customer Relationship Management.

I would welcome applications from potential PhD candidates wishing to explore areas, which fit within my areas of interest.
