My profile
Biography
I am a Lecturer in the Sport Policy Unit at Manchester Metropolitan University.
I am currently completing my PhD at MMU. I completed my MSc in Sport Business, Management and Policy at MMU in 2019.
My main research interest reside around sport management. The research I conduct is around various aspects of athlete’s development and well-being, with a particular focus on athlete early career termination due to de-selection.
Teaching
The sporting industry has become continuously professionalised throughout the globe, with sport companies increasingly requiring their employees to have specific sporting knowledge and expertise. This results in a need for those working within the industry to develop necessary skills to be successful within an ever growing and complex environment. Sport has multiple sectors and the sport programmes at Manchester Metropolitan University are designed to give students the opportunity to develop their understanding within these various sectors. The programmes support students in their ability to apply theory to the real world situations, resulting in their advancement towards a future career in sport.
I have a passion for supporting and working with those who are interested in Sport Business and I apply student centric philosophy to my teaching style.
