Summary
I have been employed in the area of international business since 1995. My teaching interests are in various areas of international business.
I am currently the Quality Lead for the Marketing, Enterprise and Events Management Division. In addition, I am acting Course Leader for the MSc International Business courses, covering sabbatical for Cristina Lopez Moreno in 2025-26.

I have substantial international experience, having taught on international Masters programmes, and involvement in international collaborations. I am an active participant in in the research culture of the International Business area, researching in areas such as Brexit and its impact on inward FDI to the UK and intra-regional trade.
