About
Biography
I joined Surrey Business School as a Lecturer in Finance in March 2022. Prior to this, I was a Lecturer in Finance at Keele University Business School and a Teaching Associate and Research Assistant at the University of Birmingham Business School. I hold a PhD degree in Accounting and Finance and a MSc in Investments from the University of Birmingham.
My current research areas are empirical issues in corporate finance and corporate governance, with an emphasis on corporate cash holdings, government intervention, board structure and private equity. I am interested in supervising PhD students with interests that overlap with my research areas.
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
