Prior to joining the School of Business in 2015, she was a research fellow in entrepreneurship and an assistant professor in organization studies at Warwick Business School in the United Kingdom. During the fellowship, she conducted an in-depth study, observing and interviewing healthcare professionals, chief executives, managers and practitioners across a range of national health trusts in England. She focused on examining the translation of evidence-based innovation into clinical practice and how the institutional context impacts this. This resulted in the development of a process-based model of institutional entrepreneurship that encompassed the different types of work undertaken.
