Broad research area and interests:

Inclusive entrepreneurship - helping people from marginalized and disadvantaged communities to start their own business

What societal groups do you aim to positively affect and support through collaborative research?

People with disabilities, marginalized youth, people with criminal convictions, immigrants, refugees, seniors, Travellers, etc. 

How might your involvement in engaged research support these groups?

We could develop new ways to support organisations and disadvantaged communities that want to build skills in business and innovation, for example by partnering to develop and deliver entrepreneurship training.
