Summary
As Senior Lecture I teach on the BSc Events Management courses and I also teach on modules which are across the Service Sector Management department. Over the last ten years I have been involved in various sectors of the events industry, from weddings and conferences to music festivals and charity events, including working on Sheffield music festival Tramlines for eight years. My research interest is student resilience including resilience in the placement setting. As Course Leader and Undergraduate Recruitment lead for Events Management I am available to chat throughout the year please contact me via email and I will respond as soon as possible.
