    Biography

    I am an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship in the International Centre for Transformational Entrepreneurship at Coventry University. Within this role, I am involved in both teaching and research activity for ICTE.

    In terms of my teaching portfolio, I am the Programme Director for Online and Faculty Service Teaching and Co-Director Education (Curriculum Development). I have been lecturing at undergraduate and postgraduate level for the last 8 years at Coventry University and I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

I have presented my research at major academic conferences namely, Academy of Management (AOM), European Group of Organizational Studies (EGOS) and the Institute of Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE). In addition to this, I periodically review articles for the Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development and the International Journal of Management Education.
