Personal statement
After a career in banking, investment and latterly at an internet start-up, I was drawn back into higher education at University of Strathclyde. It was a surprise to me that there were methods to study how organisational decisions can and do get made, which goes to show that sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know. Masters level study in Business Analysis led to PhD research in Management Science and opportunities for teaching within the department. As a Teaching Associate in the Business School, I am keen to facilitate high-quality face-to-face and online learning to undergraduate, post graduate and MBA students. I have a particular interest in collaboration, as an area of study, and, as a way of working, and I am in the process of delivering joint degree courses with other faculties.
