Biography

I am a first year part-time PhD student in the Department of Sociology. I joined the department in 2021 after taking a short break from studying, having completed the MA Management programme at Durham University Business School in 2019. I also graduated from Durham in 2007 with a BA(Hons) Philosophy. Alongside my studies I work at the University of Liverpool full-time as the Head of Operations in the Careers and Employability Team.
