Southern Regional CollegeBusiness and Marketing Lecturer

Jan. 2023Newry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom · HybridEver sat in a class thinking, "When will I ever use this?" Not on my watch. As a part-time Business and Marketing Lecturer, I've tossed the old playbook out the window. Why? Because the world’s moving fast, and to keep up, you’ve got to move faster.

I blend the classic with the cutting-edge, making sure you’re not just ready for the future but excited to meet it head-on. 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵. It’s not just about theories and strategies. It’s about real-world, “this is happening now” kind of learning. The kind that equips you to not just navigate but to lead in the ever-evolving business world. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹. Imagine walking into a room, and instead of a lecture, it’s a journey. A journey where each lesson is a stepping stone to something bigger, something bolder. That’s what we’re talking about here. This isn’t about passing exams. It’s about igniting a flame, a passion for business and marketing that goes beyond the classroom. It's about setting you up for success in a world that waits for no one. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁? This journey isn’t just for you. Got a friend, a son or daughter, or any loved one thinking about diving back into education or kickstarting their career path? This could be the game-changer they’ve been waiting for. 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂? A head start in the business world, skills employers are crying out for, and a passion for marketing that goes beyond the classroom. It’s about becoming the professional the future needs. 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲𝗱? Let’s turn curiosity into careers and learning into living. Your next big step? It’s just a conversation away.
