I received my Mphil degree from University of Western Australia, and PhD degree in March 2022 from the Australian National University. My career trajectory started from being a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, working on a project about how HR practices influenced healthcare workers from BAME backgrounds during the pandemic (Dec 2021 to Aug 2023). Through my Postdoctoral Research Fellow role, I have successfully built relationships and demonstrated impact to NHS medical practitioners in three hospitals in Leeds, UK. Following my Postdoctoral Research Fellow role, I was then employed by Newcastle Business School in Northumbria University, where I taught students and employees in the Northeast of North East England from September 2022 to March 2023. Subsequently, I was appointed to a lecturer/assistant professor role in in HRM, OB and Work Psychology in the Department of Work and Organisation at Aston Business School, Aston University, starting from March 2023 up until the present, where I teach creativity and leadership for students and employees in the West Midlands of England.
