I joined the Faculty of Business, Law and Tourism in 2014. I am Programme Leader for MSc Finance and Management. I obtained my ESRC-CASE studentship PhD "Accountability and social impact measurement for a third sector supported housing organisation" from Newcastle University and my broad interest is in social and environmental accounting.

I have also been closely involved in diverse and multi-cultural organisations in the North East and London. My work within the different organisations was based on community engagement, organising, delivering, monitoring activities as well as being a member of Trustees and managing the finance of their projects.
