About my experience and expertise



Personal statement:

I am a global citizen having found my home near the sea in Northern Ireland. My career spans from Policy Manager at the World Travel & Tourism Council to Lecturer in Business Ethics at the University of Surrey and now Lecturer in Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality at Ulster University and Chair of the Ulster University Business School’s Sustainability Committee.

My research interests combine corporate sustainability, sustainable tourism, ethics and entrepreneurship. I am a Board Director of Sustainable NI and Fellow of the ACCESS Leadership College. I sit on the editorial board of Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights and supervise several PhD researchers with topics varying from rural tourism, circularity, post-growth and pro-environmental behaviour change. When not on campus, I can usually be found picking litter on the beach.
