I am a Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at Adelaide University, where I combine over a decade of academic and research experience with a genuine passion for advancing entrepreneurship education. My research centres on high-growth entrepreneurship, opportunity evaluation, and the often-overlooked role of spirituality and religion in entrepreneurial action - a distinctive lens that bridges rigorous theory with real-world relevance.I hold a PhD in Entrepreneurship from the University of Adelaide and an MPhil in the same field from the University of Pretoria. My published research spans entrepreneurial growth expectations, religious social capital in business, and the structural barriers facing youth entrepreneurs across Africa. Beyond contributing to scholarly debate, my works are designed to inform practical strategy for business leaders and evidence-based policy for governments and institutions.Teaching and mentorship sit at the core of my academic identity. I have guided undergraduate and postgraduate students through research projects, supervised emerging scholars, and delivered numerous training workshops - helping equip the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and business leaders with both the analytical tools and the confidence to succeed.I remain driven by a commitment to academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and meaningful service — and I actively seek opportunities to extend this impact through research collaboration, teaching innovation, and engagement with the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.
