I started working at the University of York in 2020 as a Program Leader of MSc Global Marketing (January cohort) and Lecture (Teaching and Scholarship) in Marketing. I was a Program Director and Senior Lecturer at York St John University from 2014-2020 teaching at UG and PG. I hold a PhD from Hull University in the area of consumer behaviour (regional product purchase) and cultural differences. I ran my own business in international marketing consultancy during my PhD – Initio Marketing.
In 2017, I started to create a community for Marketers in York. This group includes anyone who is working in Marketing or sees themselves as a Marketer (practitioners, academics, students) or is working in any related discipline design, PR, any other communication channel and/or strategy. This group meets 4-6 times a year to organise CPD accredited events, networking and experience sharing events but also gets involved in further growing the mentoring program in and around York with the help of the CIM.

My research expertise spans across a variety of both qualitative and quantitative studies. My PhD was looking into Consumer motives to purchase regional products: the relationship with regional cultural differences and demographic variables. My current area of research focuses on internationalisation enablers and challenges for micro-firms in the case of craft breweries.
As a research team we secured University of York Research Priming Funding 2018 worth (£5,544) an empirical application of foraging to consumers’ alcohol and pub consumption choices.
As a research team we applied for Scottish Universities Insight Institute 2017 worth (£20,000) looking into Crafting Growth: Exploring emerging potential & challenges of extended collaboration for Scotland’s craft beer sector.
I secured funding for one research assistant as part of the York St John University Student as a Researcher scheme in 2015 and again in 2016, on a project examining at the relationship between on and offline student engagement and grades; and consumer motives to purchase craft beer and the communication gap between breweries, retailers and consumers (£2,300).
I would welcome enquiries from potential research students working on International Marketing; Cultural Differences; Consumer Behaviour; Strategic Marketing; Marketing of SMEs.
