About

After completing a degree in mathematics at the University of Sheffield, I trained as a Management Accountant qualifying with CIMA. I spent several years working in the industry, with much of that time costing engines and aircraft for a major airline. I began teaching professional accountancy courses part-time and found my passion in Higher Education now teaching full-time at the University. As well as teaching, I have worked with publishers to develop accounting and finance texts and questions for online platforms.
