Angela has been in her current role at Northumbria since 2013.  Her previous employment history includes time spent working in Business Planning and Operational Research in the gas industry, and for a number of organisations as a private consultant.  She is an experienced higher education teaching professional, having also worked in academia at the Higher Education Academy supporting universities with implementation of the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR).  She currently teaches business statistics, research methods, and project management alongside a management role as Faculty Director of Quality Assurance.  She maintains her industry experience by undertaking work with external clients.

Angela is interested in the application of a wide variety of research methods to business problems, and is particularly concerned with qualitative applications of Personal Construct Theory to questions of identity and professional views of the self at work.  Her PhD thesis ('Work Integrated Learning and self-perceptions regarding the work role: a longitudinal study') explored these ideas with a group of undergraduate students as they moved in and out of placement experiences.  She is currently working on related publications.
