About

I have been a Senior Lecturer at Kingston University since 2005, and more recently Academic Director for the Undergraduate and Apprenticeship programme.  My responsibilities include, the overseeing and the management of these two UG courses, ensuring they remain competitive in the market, a coherent whole and that students benefit positively from them. I have obtained much knowledge and experience by working within a worldwide role in the Real Estate industry (St James's, West End London) as Global Head of Asset Management and Performance Reporting (assets app. £2Bn in 2004).I have also held the position of Academic Director of the PG course.

I am a recognised Senior member of the Higher Education Academy since 2014 and member of the Chartered Association of Business Schools, and hold a European chartered membership within the industry. I obtained my Masters in Real Estate in 1999 (UK and The Netherlands) and have a PGCert. in Higher Education.

As Senior Lecturer I focus on Corporate Real Estate, Investment Strategy and Real Estate Research modules and ensure the course is linked with industry professionals and the RICS.

I am also embarking on a PhD investigating the evolution of the role of Women within Real Estate, focusing on their Wellbeing and the furthering of their role within the industry. I am currently a member of the Well-being at Work Research Group.

During the 2020 pandemic lockdown I have also had the opportunity of completing the Science of Wellbeing course delivered by Prof. Laurie Santos of Yale University. I intend to use some of the researched techniques to help students with new added challenges.
