About me

Prior to arriving at UWE in 2018, I had spent many years working on NHS multidisciplinary teams focused mainly on rehabilitation from stroke, and assisted research trialling an intervention for post-stroke left spatial neglect with Dr Ailie Turton. I came to UWE to study Psychology with Sociology and venture into health research. A commitment to interdisciplinary approaches to health research led me to complete a Master’s degree in Public Health, situated within the Centre for Public Health and Wellbeing , where I’m currently working as a Postgraduate Researcher, funded by the South West Doctoral Training Partnership 

Alongside research, I also work as part of the Psychology teaching team as an Associate Lecturer in Social Psychology.

The working title for my PhD thesis is ‘Co-designing and developing the LivDem post-diagnostic course for people living with young onset dementia’, supervised by Dr Emily Dodd - UWE Bristol , Professor Richard Cheston - UWE Bristol , and Dr Michelle Heward | Bournemouth University .
