I am a lecturer of Psychology at The University of Chester, having joined the team in May 2025, and where I also serve as the deputy programme leader on the MRes course. My academic journey has taken me across the UK, with studies and occupations across Scotland, Wales, and England - as well as a semester in Hungary.

I joined The University of Chester after two academic years at Wrexham University (previously known as Wrexham Glyndwr University or Glyndwr University). Whilst at Wrexham, I was the acting course leader for the MSc Applied Psychology course, and also served as the academic link. I began my PhD in 2018 at The University of Edinburgh, researching the extent to which personality traits are predictive of life outcomes, both within and across cultures.

I have been published in academic journals such as The Journal of Research in Personality (JRP) and The Journal of Personality (JoP). Furthermore, I have also acted as a reviewer for journals such as Scientific Reports, The British Journal of Health Psychology, Current Psychology, and the Journal of Psychology.
