As a social and developmental cyber psychologist, I am interested in the social development of children, adolescents and young people within a digital age. I am also interested in how this development occurs within an educational context.
Drawing upon both qualitative and quantitative research methods, I explore the relationship between online communication, mental health and wellbeing. I am passionate about applying my findings within an educational context.
I also lead and consult on student events and initiatives within a higher education context with a particular focus upon student wellbeing and future employability. I am committed to the co-production and co-creation of student initiatives to prioritise students’ voices and lived experiences within higher education decision-making about them.
I am currently a Teaching Fellow within the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London, Co-Director of the Environment Communication Health: Online-Offline (ECHO-O) Lab, External Engagement and Outreach Lead of the Teaching in Higher Education, Supporting and Inspiring Students (THESIS) group, and committee member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) Developmental Psychology Division.
