Profile

I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Liverpool Hope University. I first completed a BSc (hons) degree in Psychology at Nottingham Trent University and then furthered my studies by obtaining an MRes degree in Psychology Research Methods from the University of York. In 2011, I was awarded my PhD from Nottingham Trent University for my thesis exploring the topic Exclusivity in Memory for Object Location. My research interests are predominantly in the field of Human Cognitive Psychology, with a particular focus on human memory and memory for object location. I am also interested in how multiple memory representations can interact to influence recall accuracy in spatial long term memory, the survival processing effect in memory and the temporal contiguity effect.

My current teaching responsibilities are largely on the Introduction to Psychology module at first year, where I am a core lead and lead on the 'What is Psychology' lecture series. In addition to this I co-lead the second-year Research Design and Analysis Quantitative course. I also lead the Advanced Research Design and Analysis course at Masters level and deliver of third year option looking at 'Human Memory'. I am also a member of the UG and PG academic sub-committees. 

I am a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Review Editor for Frontiers in Psychology: Cognition.
