Personal profile
Overview
I am a lecturer in New Product Development, at the National Bakery School, Applied Sciences.
I joined the University in 2021 after over 30 years in the food industry in Research and Development and Innovation leadership roles.
I am also a Fellow of the Institute of Food Science and Technology, vice chair of the publication committee and one of the inaugural members of the Food Innovation Special Interest Group.
Passionate about food, I believe that good food needs to not only delight, sustain and nourish, but also to be grounded in science and be sustainably and ethically sourced and manufactured.
