Lecturer in Project Management

I am a lecturer in Project Management and joined the Graduate School of Business in June 2023. Currently, I serve as the course coordinator for the MSc in Project Management, Project Management with Data Analytics, and Project Management with Placement. Additionally, I hold the position of unit leader at the postgraduate level.

I bring a wealth of expertise in the field of teaching, cultivated through years of dedicated experience. I leverage innovative instructional methods, adapt my approach to diverse learning styles, and am committed to continuously improving my pedagogical skills.

In my capacity as a business consultant, I collaborate closely with businesses associated with the university's RIS center, offering tailored solutions to address their specific challenges and capitalize on opportunities.

Furthermore, I am an active researcher dedicated to shedding light on various aspects of entrepreneurship, including entrepreneurial teams, entrepreneurial growth, entrepreneurial cognition, business model innovation, lean startup framework, new venture creation, and gender in entrepreneurship. I have publications in refereed journals.
