About
Biography
Since 2024, I am a Lecturer in Business and Management at the Surrey Business School. Prior to joining Surrey, I completed my PhD at the University of Bristol. Bringing together my interdisciplinary background in management and education, my key research interests relate to sustainability management, organisational change, and complex systems.
Currently, I am involved in pedagogical research project on feedback literacy, the Action Feedback Protocol and I am the co-editor of the British Educational Research Association’s Research Intelligence Spring Issue on quality in higher education systems in the UK and China.
In my teaching, I focus on authentic assessments, co-creating immersive learning opportunities and engaging students with academic perspectives and worldviews from across the globe. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Association (FHEA).

The approach focuses on the need to foster proactive recipience among learners, couples the nature of feedback produced with students’ expectations of it, and creates structured alignment between staff across marking teams.
