Teaching

With a culmination of 15 years of experience in managerial roles, research endeavours, and teaching engagements, I have acquired a versatile understanding of the dynamic business field. While my primary focus lies in the realm of business strategy, I have had the privilege of teaching an array of subjects across different academic levels over a period of time. These subjects encompass Level 3 courses such as Inquiry-Based Learning and Preparing for Success: Knowledge and Creativity, Level 4 courses including Principle of Marketing and Organizational Behavior, Level 5 course Consultancy in Practice, and Level 6 courses in Dissertation, Managing & Developing Innovation & Creativity.

My commitment to excellence extends beyond the confines of the classroom. I have actively engaged with numerous esteemed institutions, such as the London School of Science and Technology and Buckinghamshire New University, and the University of Bolton curriculum, where I imparted my knowledge and expertise. Additionally, my involvement with the retail industry has allowed me to actively contribute to the implementation of best practices.

Research

My research background focuses primarily on the areas of strategy and policy development for Cottage, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (CMSME) as well as the Creative and Cultural Industry (CCI). My research endeavours have also encompassed diverse topics such as business analysis, financial crisis, and developmental economics, reflecting my wide-ranging interests within the field as well as pedagogical research on teaching, learning, and education.

My research approach is characterized by a balanced emphasis on both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. This allows me to explore complex phenomena from various angles, leveraging statistical analysis alongside in-depth qualitative insights to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. I have had the privilege of contributing to a number of significant research publications and conferences. Notably, I was awarded first place at the UWS London 3MT Conference, showcasing my ability to effectively communicate research findings in a concise and engaging manner. Furthermore, my work has been presented at renowned conferences such as the ISER conference, and I have also published in reputable journals like the IJMAS Journal, among others.
