I joined LSBU in 2017 and am currently a senior lecturer in Finance, Economics, Analytics & Accounting within the Business School. I am the current Business School lead for admissions.

I am a fully qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. I am passionate about banking and have enjoyed working in the banking sector. I was a resourceful and results-driven banker by profession in the past. I have worked for retail, local and international Banks holding financial reporting roles, including ANZ Grindlays Bank, where I was awarded the Best Employee award.

I am currently an External Examiner for London Metropolitan University with external moderation responsibility for several important modules and External Moderator for the British University in Egypt.

In addition to my teaching and course management responsibilities, I have also made valuable contributions to LSBU Enterprises Ltd.
