About

My academic background is in three fields including a BSc Computer Systems Engineering, MSc Economics and Phd Financial Management. Following my studies I gathered ample experience both in teaching as well as in research. Prior to joining the College’s academic team, I was a senior lecturer in Finance at the School of Management of Swansea University.

This experience of over fifteen years as an academic has ranged over several modules in Finance such as Corporate Finance, Principles of Finance, Financial Services, Finance for Economics and Investment Management. In addition I have also acted as the principal investigator of a number of research projects for the Welsh Government on financial-related topics of regional businesses in Wales.

I thoroughly enjoy passing on my knowledge, study tips, research skills and writing techniques to students so look forward to meeting you here at The College. My experience in different settings including a world-class multinational company, government projects, a research institute and in academia will hopefully enhance your university experience.
