About me
I am Associate Professor of Psychology at the world-leading Centre for Appearance Research (CAR). I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Mental Health, two Masters degrees in Psychological Research Methods and Health Psychology, and a PhD by publication (DPhil) focused on the psychological impact of cleft lip and/or palate. I am passionate about psychological health, holistic and inclusive healthcare, and appearance diversity. My work offers a better understanding of the psychological impact of appearance-altering conditions and associated treatment, develops evidence-based resources to support the psychological health of those affected and their families, and promotes appearance diversity in all aspects of our society.
I currently lead the high-profile 'CARE' research programme (Craniofacial microsomia: Accelerating Research and Education) at CAR, alongside a range of additional national and international research projects. I am Behavioural Sciences Section Editor of the Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, past Co-Chair of the ACPA Global Task Force for Holistic Outcomes, member of the Craniofacial Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and Board member of the NIHR Craniofacial Clinical Studies Group.

I have additional experience in Public Involvement, cohort studies and service evaluation, and led a REF 2021 Impact Case Study.
