Lecturer in Marketing, Newcastle University

I am a Lecturer in Marketing at Newcastle University Business School.

I am interested in consumer behaviour, particularly in personal finance management, spending, and savings habits. I explore consumer lived experiences of using high-cost credit products like payday loans, doorstep loans, pawning etc. Branding and communications are also a personal interest, having designed and implemented several rebranding/branding activities for SMEs in industry.

I am passionate about design and creativity in the workspace and beyond. Prior to working in academia, I have worked in design and marketing at management level in several industry sectors including not-for-profit, low carbon/zero emissions, military and aerospace engineering, and cosmetics.
