About
I am a Lecturer in developmental psychology and my research interests include social and developmental psychology in educational settings. As an alum at Kingston University, where I completed my MSc and PhD, I joined as a staff member in September 2022. I am excited to co-module lead two modules this academic year; Historical and Philosophical Concepts in Psychology (L4) and Social and Developmental Psychology (L5).
My recent research looked at the process of resilience and educational transitions. I am keen to understand how children experience school transitions from an ecological approach. This includes children with a visible difference, neurodiversity and neurotypical developing children. As a qualitative researcher, I am drawn to the meaning of the narrative and the experiences of the individual and/or the group.
