I am a teaching associate mostly teaching statistics and research methods in smaller group lab classes and workshops. I enjoy working with students in smaller setting to adapt to students’ individual needs. I am particularly interested in inclusivity and worked alongside students to develop a toolkit to assist in decolonising lectures and to make lectures to be more accessible and inclusive of diversity – including disability, neurodiversity cultural and other personal characteristics.

My research interests focus on developmental psychology particularly in the trajectories of psychopathology. My PhD examined the longitudinal development of disruptive behaviour from infancy into early childhood, in a sample of families experiencing low and high-risk psychosocial adversity. My previous research roles have focused on the impact of parenting behaviours on child outcomes (e.g., anxiety) and parents delivering interventions for clinical populations.

More recently, I have joined the  Environment, Connectedness, and Health: Online and Offline (ECHO-O) Lab and am very interested in the influence of nature connectedness on mental health and  well-being in both adults and children. I would like to explore how connecting with nature might be integrated into to pedagogy to improve engagement and learning.

I currently teach on the following undergraduate courses: PS1010 Understanding Psychological Research, PS3193 Advanced Statistics and PS341 Advanced Developmental Psychology. I have previously taught statistics at the post graduate level. I also mark across several undergraduate modules including: PS1070 How to be a Psychologist, PS1040 Understanding Development across the Lifespan, PS2040 Developmental Psychology, PS3121 Developmental Disorders.
