I have been a member of Adjunct Faculty at Kingston University Business School since 2008. Following a career in training and development with blue chip management consultancies, I now teach Organisational Behaviour, HRM and Business Readiness. I also provide academic skills advice as part of the Academic Success Team. My research is based within the HE field with a focus on: academic identity development; embedding employability and academic skills (especially critical thinking skills); building engagement via assessment and transition to Higher Education.
