Education and Publication


In relation to Marketing and Entrepreneurship, I held an MSc International Marketing Management from Leeds University Business School, University of Leeds & an MBA from Dundee Business School, Abertay Dundee University. 

Following on a doctoral scholarship offer from Aberdeen Business School, the Robert Gordon University, I carried out my PhD and awarded Doctor of Philosophy. Undertaking a phenomenological approach, my research was conducted by employing CAQDA. Being multi-disciplinary, the research examined innovation, entrepreneurship and marketing functions using virtual networks in biotech firms in the healthcare sector and provided practical implications.  In addition, I obtained a PGCE at the University of Lincoln.
