Academic profile
I was awarded a BSc in Urban Land Economics from Sheffield City Polytechnic (now Sheffield Hallam University) in 1992.
Before my move into academia, I worked in both the public and private surveying sectors, including the Valuation Office Agency (Sheffield) and Leeds Development Corporation. My experience covered all aspects of the 1995 Rating Revaluation, including valuations and appeals across all property sectors, CPO work, Estate Management, Landlord and Tenant and Property Development.
I completed my PhD in the Department of Land Economy, University of Aberdeen in 2001.
From 1998 – 2004 I lectured in the Department of Land Economy, University of Aberdeen and from 2004 – 2006 I was Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer at Cass Business School, City University.
In 2006 I was appointed as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Town and Regional Planning, University of Sheffield.
