I am the Head of the National Bakery School in the School of Applied Sciences. I joined LSBU in 2016, having previously studied at the National Bakery School and, before then, as Director of the Olive Stone company. Once I completed the BSc (Hons) in Baking Science and Technology, I took a further qualification PG in Academic Practice (Queen Mary's University London) and completed my PhD in Food Science from London South Bank University.
I am passionate about bakery products and functional ingredients that affect the fermentation of baked goods. My main research specialises in proteins, ranging from animal to plant-based. Through this, my research has expanded with interests in consumer habits, perception of food products and sustainable protein sources. This is a key driver for the bakery industry and consumers as this determines progress within the food industry. I have recognised this as an important indicator, and therefore started working with several bakery companies to develop their product range and baked goods using sustainable proteins.
In 2017, I was awarded with the Rising Star from LSBU and further received Freedom from the City of London. This led to full liveryman status within the Worshipful Company of Bakers. This allows me to engage with outreach programmes and encourage more young people to join the baking industry.
