I joined the University in July 2018 and I lead the part-time and degree apprenticeship MBA programmes. I teach across a range of people management and research methods modules. I have been in the higher education sector since 2005 and I have worked at the universities of Teesside, York St John, and Newcastle.

I am a senior fellow of the HEA and I have led a number of funded research projects and initiatives related to the widening participation agenda. Throughout my career I have worked with a wide range of students and I am passionate about helping students achieve their full potential both during their time at university and in their future careers.

My research area is ‘culture and coping’ which explores themes such as adaptation and resilience; coping resources and reserves; recourse to intervention strategies; how stress is conceptualised and discussed; and readiness and resistance to change. I also have a keen interest in research methods, in particular, researcher emotion. I have published a range of conference papers, methodology case studies, academic articles and book chapters from my research.  

I have conducted a range of consultancy projects in areas ranging from performance management systems to stress management interventions. For many years I have been involved in the design and delivery of bespoke programmes to support professionals who are new to leadership roles.

My current study builds on my interest in ‘culture and coping’. I am interested in how our environment influences what we consider to be stressful and the coping strategies and behaviours we adopt to deal with stressful conditions. In my current study, I am researching how long-term exposure to stressful environments influences our perceptions of stressful encounters and informs our coping strategies.  For example, does long-term exposure build up our resilience or does it deplete our coping energies and reserves? And what coping resources do we draw on throughout this process?
