I completed my PhD (Keele University) in 2007 and hold a BA from University College Dublin (UCD) and Masters degrees from both the University of Exeter and UCD. I worked as a lecturer in UCD, and also held research associate positions in Cardiff Business School and UCD.
Prior to entering academia, I spent several years working in the financial services sector and in telecommunications in New York, London and Ireland.
I am broadly interested in issues of identity, power and subjectivity, gender, technological innovation and volunteer work. My field work focuses on not-for-profit organisations, public-private partnerships and government agencies.

I have published in Human Relations; Organization; European Journal of Information Systems and Managament Communication Quarterly.
