Senior Lecturer in HRM and Leadership
I have taught across all courses offered at Sunderland Business School for the last eight years. I was a student here at the University and started teaching as soon as I completed my Masters course in 2010. My undergraduate degree is BA Business and Human Resource Management and my Masters degree is MA International Management. I also completed a PGCE in Post Compulsory Education and Training.
I am currently in my fourth year of my PhD at Newcastle University studying students' conceptions of academic conduct in UK Higher Education. The aim of this study is to explore and examine students’ understanding and development of the concept of academic conduct within the context of their undergraduate education programme within a university setting in the North of England.

Research
I am currently completing a PhD at Newcastle University studying students' conceptions of academic conduct in UK Higher Education. The aim of this study is to explore and examine students’ understanding and development of the concept of academic conduct within the context of their undergraduate education programme within a university setting in the North of England.
The study explores variation in experience leading toward identification of qualitatively different conceptions of academic conduct. Conceptions will then be reviewed in light of previous research and current HE-generated frameworks.
