About

I joined the University in October 2015 having completed my PhD in Sport Psychology, MSc in Psychology of Sport and BSc in Sport and Exercise Science at Liverpool John Moores University, where I was also employed to coordinate a research project exploring graduate employability. My PhD explored the personal qualities of sport psychologists and how practitioners operate within elite and professional sport environments.

My ongoing research is focused on sport psychologist development, practitioner identity, and student-athlete well-being and my expertise lie within qualitative approaches to data collection. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and coordinate our taught postgraduate provision in Sports, Outdoor and Exercise Science. I teach across psychology and research methods modules, with module leadership responsibility at level seven.
