I am a Senior Lecturer in Business Management at York St John University and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I teach across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, covering a range of business and management subjects.
I was awarded my Doctorate in Management from the University of York . My doctoral research examined the impact of Athena Swan accreditation on the lived experiences of early- and mid-career researchers, through a qualitative study of an Athena Swan Gold Award-holding department.
My research primarily focuses on Gender and Organisations, with particular interest in organisational policies, equality accreditations, and their influence on employee experiences. I also explore organisational behaviour and culture, examining how structural and cultural factors shape workplace dynamics. In addition, I have published research on sustainability, particularly the low-carbon strategies adopted by local enterprises and their progress towards net zero.
I am a member of the Visitor Economy Research Group and the People in Employment Settings (PiES) Research Group at York St John University. I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students whose research interests align with my expertise, particularly in Gender and Organisations, organisational culture, and equality and inclusion.

I am a lecturer in Business and Management at York Business School (YBS). My early research specialised in the area of gender and organisations, with my PhD examining the impact of Athena Swan accreditation on the lived experiences of early- and mid-career researchers. I was awarded a Doctorate in Management from the University of York where I continued my teaching and research activities. Following my PhD I worked as a research associate at the University of York, I worked with esteemed researchers in the area of business and sustainability particularly in relation to the Net zero carbon efforts of the UK.
At York St John University I continue to develop my research on spatial performativity and gender in organisational contexts. Recently, I presented my research at the UFHRD International Conference 2023 at the National Collage of Ireland. Also, I am a member of the departmental research group ‘PiES’ where the research group examines different aspects of people in employment settings.
