Experience in Industry
Throughout my PhD I was employed as a Teaching Assistant and taught across a range of undergraduate psychology modules.
Faculty: Education, Health and Sciences
School: School of Science
Subject Area: Psychology
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Derby in 2002. I then went on to graduate with an MSc in Health Psychology also at the University of Derby in 2005. Following my studies I worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Psychopharmacology at the University of Nottingham between 2005 and 2008. In 2008 I began a PhD within the addiction research group at the University of Birmingham. I am currently in the final stages of writing my PhD thesis.
I am a new member of the psychology team, starting in November 2011. I work primarily in the field of Health Psychology and lecture at both undergraduate and MSc level. I also teach on a range of other modules including Biological Psychology, Fundamentals of Psychology and Research Methods and Analysis.
Research interests
