About
I teach within the Finance and Economics division, with a focus on Accounting and Finance. I hold an undergraduate in Forensic Accounting, which is an interest area of mine, alongside a Masters in Accounting and Finance. In 2023 I became a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
My research looks into engagement within Accounting and enhancing this for our students here at Sheffield Business School. I aim to create an accessible and inclusive environment within my teaching and classroom to ensure students feel comfortable and are able to engage with their studies well.
I champion bridging the gap for women in finance and alongside other colleagues support events and outreach to local colleges and sixth forms to support early years knowledge on the industry and education available.
