About Shirley

Shirley joined the SiGMA News team in July, 2023. In her first role as content writer at SiGMA, Shirley took on the challenge to reinvent her career in the gaming industry and brought her passion for writing, her communication skills and creative flair. She is currently Head of News.

She graduated as a teacher of English from the University of Malta and later obtained a post-graduate diploma in administration & management, and a Master in Creativity & Innovation. She has built a career in providing training and consultancy in personal and organisational creativity, thinking systems, innovation, and entrepreneurship in both the public and private sector.

Shirley’s career has focused on education, teaching at all levels of schooling from primary years to tertiary education where she was a full-time lecturer at the University of Malta. During her academic career, her research interests focused mainly on organisational culture, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

She has always lived in Malta, spending her childhood in Ħaż-Żebbuġ and Birkirkara. She currently lives in a 400-year old, ghost-free house with her family in Żejtun.  Shirley has an avid interest in music and studied acting and voice, currently engaged exclusively to entertain her three cats and, to their reluctance, her two kids and long-suffering husband.
