Overview
I am a sustainable supply chain researcher focusing on environmental and social sustainability issues in complex fashion supply chains. I am an Assistant Professor at Cardiff Business School at Cardiff University. I was the Chief Scientist at FReSCH (Fashion's Responsible Supply Chain Hub), an action-research project awarded by the European Commission Research Executive Agency and hosted by University College Dublin.
I create modules and deliver academic as well as corporate teaching on supply chain management at the intersection of social justice, environmental sustainability and global disruptions. In addition to my published academic work, I have been featured by multiple media articles and events including Forbes, The Guardian, Vogue Business, Vogue Italia, Financial Times, The Irish Times and La Repubblica. I have collaborations with UN, NGOs, fashion companies and media platforms on sustainability, climate change and transparency issues. l
I am currently serving on the boards of IPSERA (International Purchasing and Supply Education and Research Association) and UCRF (the Union of Concerned Researchers in Fashion). Furthermore, I am the Sustainable Fashion lead at the Centre of Public Value Procurement at Cardiff Business School led by Prof. Jane Lynch.

Teaching
Since 2013, I have created lectures and delivered academic, as well as corporate, teaching on supply chain management, sustainability, fashion supply management and various industrial engineering topics. During my teaching, I provide personal, constructive, and customised feedback to students and provide an inclusive and encouraging environment to stimulate continuous learning. I create my lectures to facilitate reflexive and participatory conversations to foster rigour, creativity, innovation, and responsibility in decision-making. By discussing cases, current affairs, policy, and practice and by inviting practitioners to my lectures, I create and sustain the attention of the students. I am currently teaching Strategic Supply Chain Management at Cardiff Business School.

Supervisions
Having completed a double degree PhD in an international environment, I experienced the enriching and challenging facets of thesis supervision as a student. I would like to bring my experiences to help our students enrich their experience at academic, personal, and professional levels.
I am interested in supervising students in the areas of:
- Just transition
- Social justice and environmental sustainability in complex supply chains
- Fashion supply chain sustainability
- Power issues, inclusion and agency
- Paradoxical issues in supply chain management
