Accepting PhD Students
PhD projects
I am willing to supervise PhD students with a preference for qualitative methodologies on the topics of intersectionality and talent management, resilience and global careers and women's experiences in organisations and entrepreneurship.
Research activity per year
I am a researcher with a passion for understanding the nuanced experiences individuals face within organisational and entrepreneurial work contexts. With a robust background spanning over 15 years, I have adeptly led and developed numerous collaborative international research projects, particularly excelling in qualitative methodologies. My current scholarly endeavors focus on four themes: (1) womens' experiences of crafting careers in SMEs using digital technologies, (2) the multifaceted intersectionality of age and gender within the talent management frameworks of Northern Irish SMEs, (3) the manifold ways in which individuals exhibit resilience throughout their global career trajectories and (4) entrepreneurial and employee well-being through mapping regional, gendered, and contextual dynamics in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
My research has made an impact through publication in world-leading journals such as Entrepreneurship, Theory and Practice and Work, Employment and Society and in journals that are internationally excellent such as Technovation, Human Resource Management Journal, and the International Journal of Human Resource Management. My work is also regularly presented at top-rated US and UK Conferences such as Gender Work and Organisation, the British Academy of Management, Work, Employment and Society and the Diana International Research Conference. I have a consistent stream of ABS3* and ABS4* high quality internationally recognised articles with several in progress, thus demonstrating a capacity to sustain and extend this existing high level of output.
I was awarded a first class honours Bachelors of Business Studies degree in 2004 from the University of Limerick. I received an IRCHSS Government of Ireland Scholarship and an Advanced Scholarship from the University of Limerick to undertake my PhD studies which I completed in 2008.
I am a Senior Lecturer and I obtained my PGCHET qualification in 2016. My research is actively integrated into both my undergraduate postgraduate teaching where student and peer feedback at both levels has been consistently excellent. I have taught in-person and online, both synchronously and asynchronously. I was appointed as an External Examiner for Carlow Institute of Technology, Ireland in 2016 and successfully performed this role until 2021. I have also acted as a module coordinator on numerous occasions since joining Queen's University Management School in 2013, and so have extensive experience of not only course design and assessment but also of complying with rigorous examination procedures.
I have developed a range of innovative teaching activities designed to deepen students’ understanding of the key topic of organisational change, such as practical case studies and quizzes, which have been implemented in higher education institutions including the University of Limerick, University of Cork and Carlow Institute of Technology. Given my commitment to education that is informed by contemporary issues in the world of work, I designed an innovative HR Insights Seminar series for the MSc HRM Course as part of my leadership of the programme through engaging with CIPD experts, HR professionals and business leaders to deliver insights into HR, gender and employment related topics.
