Professor in Entrepreneurship and Inclusion, Royal Holloway University of London

I am passionate about creating inclusive environments and serve as a Professor in Entrepreneurship and Inclusion. As the Vice Dean for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at the School of Business and Management, and the Chair of the Disability and Mental Health Staff Network at Royal Holloway University of London, I am dedicated to promoting accessibility for all.

My research centers on making organizations more disability-friendly. I explore how workplaces and leisure venues, like museums and sightseeing spots, can be more accommodating. I also deliver engaging workshops and talks on disability inclusion, sharing insights and practical advice.

In addition to my academic work, I actively volunteer for several disability charities and advocate for disability rights. My commitment to this cause is deeply personal, as I draw on my own experiences as a blind academic to inform and inspire my work
