Biography

I am a Lecturer in Psychology in Education in the Department of Education, University of York.

I gained my PhD in Psychology in Education in 2024. Alongside this, I worked as a Research Associate on an ESRC project exploring the inclusion of seldom-heard families in longitudinal qualitative research and as an Associate Lecturer teaching and supervising across both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. After completing my PhD, I worked as a Research Associate in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. 

My research is primarily qualitative and focuses on exploring the experiences of children with additional needs in relation to their friendship development and mental health. I am passionate about creating and using creative and accessible research methods that could support children and young people to take part in research. I am part of the GenOmics And Life Stories (GOALS) at the Department of Education, University of York.

PhD applicants

I am interested in enquiries from prospective doctoral students who are keen to pursue research that matters to children and young people with additional needs and their families, and that meaningfully involves them in knowledge co-creation.
