I was awarded competitive seed funding (£2,000) from the Centre for Health Research in Management (CHARMs), Queen’s Management School, for the project An Exploratory Study of Women Digital Entrepreneurs in the Health and Fitness Industry. This funding enabled data collection, refinement of research design, and the establishment of a focused research stream with Professor Maura McAdam (Dublin City University) aligned with health, wellbeing, and inclusive entrepreneurship. The award evidences internal peer recognition of research quality and potential.
