Biography
I gained a BSc(Hons) in psychology from The University of Lincoln in 2003. I then went on to obtain a 1+3 ESRC funded studentship to study at the University of Sheffield in 2005, where I completed an MSc in psychological research and a PhD, which focused on the imagery and accessibility of body-realated stimuli in eating disorders.
I joined the Section of Public Health in ScHARR as an Honorary Research Fellow in November 2009, where I started working as a Research Fellow on the CLAHRC Obesity theme. I am currently working on the South Yorkshire Cohort with Dr Clare Relton.
