Personal statement
Since 2008, I have been a Teaching Fellow in Psychology. I am currently the Course Director for the MSc Research Methods in Psychology degree, Exams Officer for the BA Psychology course, and a member of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Appeals Committee.
I teach on a range of classes on the BA Psychology and MSc Research Methods in Psychology courses. I also supervise the research projects of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
I previously held a position in the Department of Psychology as a Research Assistant and completed my PhD "The Effects of Interrogative Pressure in Simulated Forensic Interviews" at Strathclyde under the supervision of Dr Jim Baxter.
To date, my research publications have focused on matters of interrogative pressure and suggestibility within forensic interviews. More recently, I have been investigating social comparison processes in university students, self-concept clarity, and beliefs relating to medications for stammering.
