About me
I am a Senior Lecturer and EDI Co-Lead at the School of Organizations, Economy and Society (SOES)/Westminster Business School, University of Westminster, where I have served since 2011. As a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and a certified graduate teacher, I bring strong pedagogical credentials to my role. Prior to my current position, I worked as a lecturer at Royal Docks Business School, University of East London, and as a research fellow at the University of Surrey. I completed my PhD at the University of Surrey in 2010 under the supervision of Professor Stephen Drinkwater. My research interests focus on Applied Microeconomics and Quantitative Methods, with particular emphasis on labour economics and migration studies. I specialize in analysing labour market dynamics, particularly concerning immigrants and different ethnic groups. Throughout my academic career, I have developed extensive expertise in these areas, contributing to both research and teaching.
With over 15 years of teaching experience in higher education, I have successfully supervised numerous graduate and postgraduate students. My experience includes working with international students from diverse educational, social, and ethnic backgrounds, demonstrating my ability to effectively support and guide students from various cultural contexts. This comprehensive background, combined with my professional qualification as a trained graduate teacher, enables me to deliver high-quality education while fostering an inclusive learning environment.
