I am a full-time Doctoral Researcher at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship. Prior to joining Strathclyde, I was an Assistant Lecturer at my alma mater.

I graduated with First-Class Honours from the British University in Egypt, holding another BSc (hons) certificate from Loughborough University as well as a Master degree from University of New South Wales, Sydney. 

I am currently involved in multi-disciplinary and collaborative projects, bridging to other disciplines such as urban studies, geography and anthropology. 

My main research interests include:

• Female Entrepreneurship
• Contextualised Entrepreneurship
• Social Entrepreneurship
• Migrant and Minority Entrepreneurship

I am particularly interested in qualitative and creative research methods as well as contextual approaches for understanding entrepreneurial experiences.
