About

I am a senior lecturer on the BA (Hons) Sport Management degree. I have lead on creating partnerships with sports organisations such as Derby County Football Club, Team Derby and Derbyshire County Cricket Club in order for our students to gain invaluable work experience opportunities while studying on their degree.

As an active football agent, I share my insight of the industry to students in classroom and often host a range of world leading experts from the sports sector to discuss sport sponsorship, sport marketing and the football industry in order to provide an invaluable knowledge exchange for our students.
