I have worked with local industry on a consultancy basis through various initiatives such as EI Innovation Vouchers. My specialist areas are Marketing and Management. I currently co-ordinate work placements on the MSc in Management/Marketing, and supervise up to MBS Research level. I am also involved in business start-ups and private business ventures external to LYIT. I have attained various Masters and Post-Graduate awards in the areas of management and research and I am in the process of completing an EDd through Queens University.
