About
I obtained my PhD from the University of Houston, Texas, in 2020. My thesis was on the association between physical activity and alcohol consumption, with particular emphasis on individual differences in those health behaviours. I was especially interested in how individual differences in impulsivity and religiosity influenced the physical activity-drinking relation.
I joined the Department of Psychology at Kingston University in 2024. I currently co-lead two modules, Philosophical and Historical Concepts in Psychology and Psychology Research Project. I also deliver lectures and workshops on a range of modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels: Mental Health and Brain Function, Research Design and Analysis, Foundations of Psychology, and the Psychology of Health and Well-Being.
My current research focuses on associations between physical activity, alcohol consumption, and hangovers.
