Lecturer, Marketing and Retail, Stirling Management School, University of Stirling
I completed my PhD from Durham University in 2014 before undertaking a KTP in Digital Health and a Research Associate position for an Innovate UK funded product on FMCG. I am currently a Lecturer at the University of Stirling where I teach Research Methods, Text Analytics and Digital Marketing. My overarching research focus is on the adoption of technology by consumers.
