- Profile
-
I joined the University of Sheffield in 2019 as the Psychology Tutor in the Department for Lifelong Learning, working with mature learners. In 2022, I joined the School of Psychology as a University Teacher. I teach across various undergraduate and postgraduate modules, and have led on a wide range of educational initiatives in my previous roles of Senior Tutor and Director of Education. I am currently the Recruitment Lead for Psychology.
I have also worked within various other higher education settings. My previous research was in the field of forensic psychology. Stemming from my interests in applied psychology, I have worked within secure hospitals, prison settings, community mental health services, and within voluntary sector organisations.

- Research interests
-
My main research interests focus around reintegration and resettlement issues for people with convictions. My PhD research explored the accommodation needs and experiences of people with sexual offence convictions. Other research interests include societal attitudes/stigma towards sexual offences, desistance from crime, and the meaning of home.
I am also interested in pedagogical/scholarship research. I am currently exploring the experiences of students sharing their own personal life experiences in the classroom.
