I joined University of Gloucestershire in 2018 as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant having previously completed my Bachelors degree in Psychology at the University myself in 2008.
I started my lecturer position at UoG in August 2023 and teach on a variety of our modules. I have a wide variety of teaching and research interests, including health psychology, mental health, lived experiences of people in a real-world setting and the formation of stereotyping and discrimination.
I tend to pursue research that challenges the status quo by considering power structures, inequality and their impact on individuals and groups in society.
Previous to lecturing at UoG I worked for a year as a palliative support worker for children and their families before pursuing a career in academia.
I was an A-level Psychology lecturer for 8 years and for 7 years alongside this, I was also a pastoral manager of a large 6th form college.

Currently completing PhD thesis in “The experiences of parents caring for a child who is life-threatened or life-limited?” My research involves a meta-Ethnography of Qualitative Literature and a Narrative Analysis.
As a critical social psychologist I tend to conduct qualitative research; I am interested in exploring the lived experience of individuals and groups, many of whom may feel marginalised or under-represented.
My research also focuses on exploring societal constructions of knowledge and how this informs psychological practice in an applied setting as well as human behaviour more generally. I currently focus my research on under-represented groups experiencing what is often termed, psychological trauma and/or PTSD.
