About me

I am serving in three admin appoints at the moment. I am the director of the MSc Sport Management - https://www.stir.ac.uk/courses/pg-taught/sport-management/
I am also the head of FHSS Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee - https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/health-sciences-sport/about-us/athena-swan/ I am the FHSS Associate Dean for Internationalisation.

Before my appointment here, I worked as an assistant professor of sport management at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I received my doctor degree from the Ohio State University, with a major in sport management and a minor in research methods. During my doctorate, I was fully funded by the Fulbright Commission - USA and the Brazilian Ministry of Education. In the 2014/2015 academic year, I spent a year as a visiting scholar at Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts – Amherst.   My research has been published in top journals in the field of sport management, such as Journal of Sport Management, European Sport Management Quarterly, and Sport Management Review, among other journals.  I have presented in top sport management conferences, such as the European Association for Sport Management (EASM) conferences and the North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM) conferences.

I have been successful in grant applications from funders that include UKRI/ESRC, Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), and FAPESP Foundation.

My current research interests are in social impacts of sport mega-events (mainly the ones hosted by developing nations). Social impacts vary from people displacement to sport participation and capacity building.
