About

I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology within the School of Human Sciences.

Teaching responsibilities

Currently, I lead the third year undergraduate modules Independent Study in Psychology and Psychology Literature Review Project. I also contribute to the teaching on a range of other modules including Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology (year one), Introduction to Social and Cognitive Psychology (year one), Quantitative Methods and Individual Differences (year two), Cognitive and Social Psychology (year two), and Psychology in Education (year three). In addition, I supervise research projects across a range of programmes.

Research interests

I have a broad range of interests across psychology, but the main focus of my work is within maths education and interplay between emotion and mathematical processing.

Membership of professional bodies

I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Qualifications

• BSc (Hons) Psychology
• PgCert Research Methods
• PhD
