Research Interests

I am a Doctoral Researcher in the Organisation, Work & Technology (OWT) Department of the Lancaster University Management School (2021-2024) - with a BSc in Organisational Behaviour (also from Lancaster, 1st class) and an MSc in Psychology (from the University of Nottingham, Distinction). I have spent a number of years working in industry at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Mars, gaining experience in HR, Operations, Sales and Marketing - most recently as a Senior Brand Manager for Fruity Confectionary.

Inspired by both my academic grounding in OWT and industry experience, my research explores how contemporary work has become increasingly consumed with activities pertaining the development of the self and of self understanding. Specifically, I am using qualitative interview data to analyse the impact that managerial practices, in pursuit of this transformation of self, can have on individuals.
