Profile

I am studying a PhD on a part-time basis at the Institute of Work Psychology within the Management School. Following a 22 year career in the NHS, my passion and focus is now on embedding inclusive organisational cultures across both the public and private sector. 

My PhD specifically focuses on the impact that individual social capital has on the career success of disabled people who work in the NHS. 

I have experience in qualitative and quantitative research, with an academic background in psychology and management. I have presented my findings in academic literature and conferences. I am an enthusiastic scholar and I hope my research will contribute to the NHS becoming a truly inclusive institution for people with disabilities.

Qualifications

MBA, specialising in total quality management

MSC Psychological Research Methods

MA Social Sciences

BSc (Hons.) Psychology and Health Studies

Research interests

My research interest is in equality, diversity and inclusivity within the workplace, looking at an organisation's embedded culture to ensure inclusivity and enable people from all backgrounds to strive and thrive.

I am particularly interested in staff members who are also living with disabilities and/or impairments and their experiences of workplace culture.
