What have you been doing since completing your PhD?

Since completing my PhD in the area of comparative political economy, I have been a Teaching Associate at QMUL in the School of Business and Management. I teach a variety of modules, including Firm Governance, Strategy and Institutions (Year 3), Global Supply Chains (Year 3), Innovation and Entrepeneurship (Year 3), Business and Ethics (Year 2), Corporations and Social Responsibility (Year 2), European Business Context (Year 2) and Persuasuive Strategies in Marketing (Year 2). I have also been working as a Research Assistant at QMUL in the School of Law in the areas of labour migration, global governance, and human and labour rights ( title of the project 'Unpacking the Global Governance of Labour Migration: the Role of Global Processes and Institutions in the Realisation of Decent Work for Migrants'). Recently, I have embarked on a Postdoctoral research project in the area of international labour migration, focusing on the ILO's role in relation to bilateral labour agreements, the ILO's role in  normative and institutional terms, and the relationship between the global and regional dimensions of the ILO, at Wilfrid Laurier University, School of International Policy and Governance.

What was most memorable about your time here at the School of Business and Management (SBM)?

My time at QM and the PhD programme will always hold a special place in my heart - the entire process of learning and development, the great memories created with my colleagues and friends, the continuous support and guidance offered by my supervisors, and the variety of teaching and research opportunities I had access to.

Why did you choose the research programme at QMUL?

I chose QMUL because of the knowledge and expertise of my supervisors, as well as their complete confidence and unparalleled dedication to my research topic and development as a student and academic.

What advice would you give to students who are considering undertaking a research degree at the School of Business and Management?

Make the most out of your learning experience by attending and participating in the lectures and seminars, exploring the wide variety of guest speakers that the School invites across the academic year (but make sure to explore what the other Schools have to offer in terms of extra-curricular talks and workshops), enhancing your CV by actively looking for teaching and research opportunities, and taking an active role within the student community and its extensive range of academic and non-academic activities.
