My profile

Biography

Prior to entering academia, I held a number of management posts in the public sector where I gained practical experience of leadership, human resource processes and the effects of organisational change programmes. I gained my PhD in 2014 and this focuses on motivations for sharing knowledge in the academic world. My main research interests are volunteering and knowledge sharing. Previously, I taught Leadership, Organisational Behaviour and Corporate Social Responsibility at Keele University School of Management and authored a number of new units for the Institute of Administrative Management. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
