Sarah has been a Senior Teaching Fellow within the School of Finance and Management for 6 years, specialising in Business and Management in East Asia. She is currently an Associate Tutor within the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy on the MA Global Diplomacy (online).

Sarah’s area of research is how the ingrained gender roles in Japan impact upon female leadership and how these gender roles are constructed within early years education. Sarah is also Managing Director of East West Interface, working with MNEs, SMEs and government organisations to increase their strategic understanding of cross-cultural business communications with Japan. 

Sarah received a commendation from the Japanese Ambassador to the UK when she was the UK Chair of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme Alumni Association, for her work in continuing UK Japan ties.
