About
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2024 after completing my Postdoc at the University of Sheffield. My background is in developmental and educational psychology. I am particularly interested in the process of learning in children and adolescents with developmental disorders, and how mental health problems can affect the process. I am also interested in psychoeducational interventions in children and young people with neurodevelopmental disorders.
I completed my PhD in Psychology at the University of Sheffield and my PhD research explored the association between children and adolescents with developmental dyslexia and mental health problems, and the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions.
My Postdoc was a Nuffield funded project entitled "Positive Early Childhood Education Program" (PECE) which explored the acceptability of measuring potential PECE Programme impacts on children's early social and emotional development.
My current role involves working with quantitative data but I also have substantial experience of working with qualitative and mixed methods data. I am involved in and contribute to research projects funded by the Education Endowment Foundation and the Youth Endowment Fund, among others.
