In 2002, I left banking to pursue further academic studies which comprised an MSc in Management and Business Research Methods and the award of a PhD by the Open University. I have been teaching a range of courses within Marketing and Management topics since 2007 at different levels including UG and PG levels involving face-to-face, distance learning and blended-learning programmes. I use and promote a range of innovative methods in teaching, learning and assessment including digital and modern modes of delivery. In addition, I design and deliver training to Marketing professionals and SMEs overseas, and hence contribute to the internationalisation of the institutions that I work for.
