Professional interests
I graduated with a first class degree in 'Counselling and Psychology studies' from the University of Derby. After this I moved to the Department of Psychology at University of Birmingham to do a Ph.D. in the area of children's acceptance and rejection of food with Dr. Gillian Harris. On completion of my Ph.D. I worked as a researcher at the University of Bristol on a BBSRC funded project examining the determinants of portion size selection before moving to University of Derby as a lecturer in Psychology.
Research interests
My main research interests are based around eating behaviours. I am interested in children's food preferences and the development of disgust, as well as how previous experience and expectations can influence adults' feelings of hunger and fullness. In collaboration with Birmingham University Imagining Centre (BUIC). I am also researching the realtionship between previous experience and people's response to the pain of others.
Current Projects:
People's response to the pain of others
The influence of expected satiety on hunger and fullness after an evening meal
