I am the Section Director for Tourism, Hospitality and Events

I am a Principal Lecturer in Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) with over 14 years of working in two Universities in the UK. I have a Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). I hold a PhD in Business with Hospitality Management from the University of Plymouth, MA in Hospitality Management from the University of Wolverhampton and a BSc (Hons) in Accounting from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria.

Before joining CCCU, I worked as visiting lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton for four years. I have experience as an operation and finance manager of fast-food restaurants for over 15 years. My experiences in the hospitality industry enhance the contextualisation of my teaching and research.

I continue to engage with hospitality academics and practitioners. I am a Member of the Institute of Hospitality (MIH), British Academy of Management (BAM) and the named representative with the Council for Hospitality Management Education (CHME).

I would be interested to hear from students considering pursuing PhD studies in hospitality management. service management, strategic management, performance measurements and sustainability.
