Anna Kimberley

Dr. Anna Kimberley serves as a Senior Lecturer at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Finland, teaching Business Communication, Human Resource Management, Diversity Management, Organizational Behaviour, Academic Writing, and Research Methods at both Bachelor's and Master's levels. She actively mentors students through thesis development, assesses academic work, and designs curriculum components using innovative pedagogical approaches that foster critical thinking and deep conceptual understanding in business education.

Her research specializes in Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and Narrative Analysis applied to organizational contexts, with core interests spanning multicultural teamwork dynamics, reflexivity in learning processes, mentoring relationships, AI integration in education, and cultural identity formation. She investigates how individuals construct meaning in cross-cultural workplaces through identity work and sensemaking, particularly examining expatriate experiences and narrative-based identity transformation in globalized business environments.

Analysis of her 2017-2020 publications reveals consistent exploration of narrative identity in multicultural organizational life, connecting expatriate adjustment, team communication across cultural boundaries, and reflective educational practices. Her methodological approach combines IPA with narrative techniques to uncover subjective experiences, positioning her work at the intersection of organizational behavior, cross-cultural psychology, and educational innovation with strong emphasis on qualitative depth over quantitative measurement.
