Personal statement

I joined the University of Strathclyde as a Teaching Associate in 2022. I am the 1st Year Tutorial Leader and I teach Social Psychology and Cognitive Psychology across a range of Undergraduate classes in 2nd and 3rd year on the BA Hons Psychology Degree. I am also the Deputy Course Leader for the online MSc with a Specialisation in Psychology course.

I have a varied background in research, my PhD was based in the area of language and communication and assessed the influence of memory processes on the production of referring expressions in conversation. My Post-doc work was in evolutionary psychology (faces/voices) assessing how humans recognise kin.

In addition to my teaching role, I am a member of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) Board of Study and also the HASS Online Committee.
