About me
I am a Research Psychologist at the world-leading Centre for Appearance Research (CAR). I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Mental Health, two Masters degrees in Research Methods and Health Psychology, and a PhD by publication (DPhil) focused on the psychological impact of cleft lip and/or palate. I work with a wide range of stakeholders to improve psychological health and treatment experiences in individuals with craniofacial conditions and their families globally.
I lead the high-profile CARE study (Craniofacial microsomia: Accelerating Research and Education) and the ACCORD study (Adults with Craniosynostosis: Creating Online Resources to reduce Distress) at CAR, alongside a range of additional national and international craniofacial projects. I am Behavioural Sciences Section Editor of the Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 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.
