I am a Chartered Psychologist with the BPS, and a full member of the Divisions of Occupational Psychology and Health Psychology, I am registered with the Health Professions Council.

My teaching interests include aspects of forensic, health and occupational psychology. I also enjoy contributing to modules on individual differences, research methods and statistics.

My research interests include a wide range of topics across forensic, occupational and health psychology, with a particular focus on work-related stress, health and safety as well as substance misuse. I welcome enquiries from students who wish to conduct postgraduate research in the areas of occupational, health and forensic psychology.
