About
I am Deputy Dean Education and Student Experience at the Management School; I am a member of the ULMS Management Committee and take a strategic view of the ULMS education portfolio. I have a particular interest in the School's TEF position and advise the Management Committee in this area.
I have worked at ULMS since 2009. In this time I have held a number of roles including the Director of Studies for the BA Accounting and Finance programme, and Associate Head of the Economics, Finance and Accounting group.
I am a qualified chartered accountant (FCA), and worked at Grant Thornton accountants before moving into education. I have maintained my connections with the professional accounting community. I am an assessor for the ACCA, the largest global accountancy professional body. I also have a quality assurance role with the ICAEW. I am a member of the British Academy of Management (BAM) Council and a member of the Management, Knowledge and Education Committee.
My main area of research interest is the career tracks of education focussed/teaching and scholarship academics. I have published a white paper on this topic and have been an invited guest speaker at many Universities and conferences to discuss this topic.
I am also interested in learning, teaching and the overall student experience. I am a Sir Alastair Pilkington and Faculty Learning and Teaching award winner. I have a track-record in developing programmes and modules and teaching related to my expertise in Financial Reporting.
I am also interested in the employability and graduate outcomes of our students, and I am working with a number of local and international professional firms in this area.
I take an active role in the wider education community through with professional accountancy bodies, and other networks including Chartered ABS and the British Academy of Management.
