In my current role at ذكذكتسئµ, I lead BA (Hons) Business and Marketing programme. I am involved in the design, development, delivery and assessment of a wide range of Marketing modules with responsibilities as:
• Member of Taught Programmes Management Committee
• Member of NSS Reflection Group
• Member of Teaching and Learning Enhancement (TaLEnt) Student Voice committee
• Module Leader
• Dissertation Supervisor
• Personal Tutor
Prior to academia, I have spent several years working for financial institutions in different roles in insurance, international banking, credit cards, marketing & product development departments. In my last banking role, I was in charge of a Marketing and Product Development unit of a large retail bank in Turkey. In 2002, I left banking to pursue further academic studies which comprised an MSc in Management and Business Research Methods and the award of a PhD by the Open University. I have been teaching a range of courses within Marketing and Management topics since 2007 at different levels including UG and PG levels involving face-to-face, distance learning and blended-learning programmes. I use and promote a range of innovative methods in teaching, learning and assessment including digital and modern modes of delivery. In addition, I design and deliver training to Marketing professionals and SMEs overseas, and hence contribute to the internationalisation of the institutions that I work for.
