About

Currently employed as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow funded through SEDarc.

During my fully-funded PhD in Forensic Psychology with Professor Theresa Gannon
at the Centre of Research and Education for Forensic Psychology (CORE-FP) I
focused on developing the literature on voyeurism. Alongside this, I worked as
an Assistant Lecturer for both the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ
Church University. I also volunteered, and continue to volunteer, with Circles
of Support and Accountability and supported numerous research projects
involving data collection in the prison service as a Research Assistant with
Professor Theresa Gannon.
Since my PhD, I joined the Centre for Health Services Studies as a Research
Assistant to support the Research Design Service (RDS) and Patient and Public
Involvement (PPI) teams. I then moved into a Research Associate role working
with Professor Simon Coulton. This position involved supporting the day-to-day
running of a randomised control trial focused on evaluating the effectiveness
of trauma-based interventions among children and adolescents, before beginning
my current role.
