Research Interests

I am interested in the relationship educational environments and mental health over development, and more broadly in how our environments and experiences affect our behaviour across development. My PhD research is focused on understanding how measures of the school environment impact individuals’ behaviour, using longitudinal and administrative datasets, as well as behavioural genetics methods.

I am a member of Health, Education and Development (Head) research group, and the Lifespan Research Network.

I worked as a Teaching Associate in the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. I ran workshops and marked assessments on the Psychological Research Methods and Analysis (PS2010) for second year undergraduate students.
