I am a Senior Lecturer of School of Accounting, Economics and Finance. 

My teaching lies in the areas of Finance/financial management/investment from level 4 to level 6. My research focuses on the impact of IFRS adoption on the usefulness of accounting information and the potential structural change amid major accounting regime change.

I joined as Lecturer of Accounting and Financial Management in 2015 and was appointed to Senior Lecturer in 2017.

Prior to the appointment, I had a teaching role in accounting and finance department at Bath as Graduate Teaching Assistant from 2010 to 2014. I graduated from Cardiff University with BSc (Hons) in Accounting and had an MSc in Finance and Investment from University of Bristol.

My research interests are primarily in the following areas:

- the impact of IFRS adoption on accounting quality in the mandatory setting

- usefulness of financial ratios in predicting stock market performance amid major accounting regime change

- Potential structural break around IFRS adoption

I am Module coordinator of Financial Investment (level 6),  Advanced Corporate Financial Management (level 6) and Studying in the UK Business Environment (level 5, Direct-Entry Tutorial Programme). I also teach Introduction to Finance for Accountants at level 4.
