My profile
Biography
A professional and experienced Chartered Marketer. I have over 13 years teaching experience on various Marketing, Business, Entrepreneurship/Sustainability programmes. I retired from being Programme Leader for the BA (Hons) Marketing in 2019 and returned working part time. Prior to this I was Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Food Business Entrepreneurship.
With over 25 years experience in Marketing for commercial, public, government and non profit sectors both in the UK and abroad. I have held various positions in marketing, strategy, PR and communications including digital.
My first job was as a materials buyer in the Construction Industry for an international construction company. This gave me an excellent grounding of the whole business process. I was fortunate to be one of only two females in the role at the time.
I bring practical insights to my teaching and being a passionate marketer I can bridge the gap between theory and practice.

In addition, this coming year I will also teach on other modules at Levels 4, 5, 6 namely; Consumer Behaviour, Tourism Marketing Communications and Consumer Psychology as well as being a research project supervisor and personal tutor.
More recently I’ve become a Carbon Literacy Champion for the faculty.
Research supervision areas for both UG and PG have been a wide spectrum. For example: Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Marketing Communications, Digital Marketing, Hospitality, Tourism, Environmental issues in Marketing and Digital User Experience.
