My teaching interests lie at the intersection of strategic aspects within sports organisations, encompassing governance, leadership, policy, and marketing. I am passionate about equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complex landscape of sports management. By delving into topics such as effective governance structures, visionary leadership, impactful policy development, and innovative marketing strategies, I aim to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of sports administration.
