Research interests: Sustainable agri-food supply chains and power dynamics between stakeholders
I have been clinging on to my student status at the University of Sheffield since 2010! My undergraduate degree was in accounting and financial management, followed by a MSc in logistics and supply chain management and then an MA in social research. I have worked in an accounts office and in the retail and catering sector.
Coming from a rural community, I am intrinsically interested in agri-food supply chains and am equally motivated to ensure they are as sustainable as possible. My research is specifically contextualised in the UK dairy sector, where I am using critical discourse analysis and LEGO-based interviews to answer my research questions.
Outside of academia, I enjoy regular trips to pizza hut buffet and pretty much anything to do with transportation. My favourite aircraft is a Chinook, my favourite train is the intercity 125 and my favourite pizza is four cheese (of course!). I am a friendly person and am always up for chatting about #PhDlife.
