Profile

I obtained a dual BA degree in Business Management and Information Management at the University of Sheffield in 2009.

I then completed a MSC in Information Systems at University of Sheffield’s Information School in 2010 where I did my dissertation analysing the effectiveness of browser-based conceptual mini-games on learning in the mathematics field.

I worked as a freelance UX designer before starting my PhD. Throughout my PhD I have worked as a teaching assistant on various Business/Information System related modules.
