I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Prior to entering academia, I worked as a management professional in various industries. As a management consultant, I have worked in the European Social Fund, Carmarthenshire County Council, and Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) funded research projects.

Alongside my research and teaching, I currently run a social enterprise, mohioshi, which is committed to empowering girls and womxn in rural Bangladesh by supporting their education and attempting to bridge the large gap in achieving gender equality within society. I am also part of a community interest company, the travellers' tree CIC, which brings art, cycling and nature together to improve the mental health of migrants and refugees in Birmingham, UK.
