I am a Lecturer in the Department of Marketing and International Business at Munster Technological University (Cork Institute of Technology). Previously I was a Lecturer in Marketing and Advertising at Edge Hill Business School; my PhD (from University College Cork) focused on gendered, therapeutic and craft consumption in consumption communities. More recently I have examined Multi-level Marketing through a feminist lens. I worked as an account executive at one of Ireland's largest marketing agencies and as a brand manager for a kitchen enterprise start up taking it to over €1 mil turnover.
