My teaching responsibilities include acting as academic supervisor for students in the Co-op work experience program, postgraduate Advances in Service Research course and the large (300+ students) introduction to marketing course (called Marketing Insights at AUT). As part of this course the students work in teams to create, advertise, and sell products both online and at an official AUT market day held on campus each semester. Some of the more successful student-led initiatives have continued as businesses following this project. I was honoured to win the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law Excellence in Teaching Award for 2020.

I also supervise postgraduate students at the doctorate, masters, and honours level. Supervisory projects include:
