About
I study career success, the work–nonwork interface (including hybrid and remote work), and understudied careers using in-depth qualitative methodologies. I serve as an Associate Editor of Human Relations and sit on the editorial boards of other journals. Since joining the University of Southampton in 2017, I have held a number of leadership roles, including Co-Director of the Work Futures Research Centre, Director of the Centre for Research on Work and Organisations, Research Integrity Champion for the Faculty of Social Sciences, a member of the core group developing the Business School's revised strategy (2019–2021), and a member of the advisory board of Future Ways of Working (a university-wide strategic major project).
My research helps individuals make informed career decisions and enables organisations to better support their employees' work and personal lives. I share my research with the world of work and provide consultancy when I can make a difference.
I adopt hands-on and experiential approaches in my teaching and prioritise creating an inclusive learning environment that enables students to think critically and flourish. I am lucky to work with PhD students who contribute to career research and practice.

Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.
You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.
