I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology within the Division of Psychology and the School of Applied Science at London South Bank University (LSBU). I am also the Course Leader for the MSc Psychology course. I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a Masters in Research Methods for Psychology, and I completed an ESRC-funded PhD in the area of visual attention and perception from Goldsmiths, University of London.
I am consistently rated as an outstanding lecturer by students at LSBU. I won the student nominated ‘Outstanding Lecturer’ award in 2017 (university-wide) and in 2016 (within the School of Applied Sciences). I have also been Highly Commended (shortlisted in the top three nominees) in the university-wide ‘Outstanding Lecturer’ award in multiple years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 – the award did not run in 2020 or 2021). I am also regularly nominated for other teaching awards, including ‘Innovation in Teaching’, ‘Outstanding Supervisor’, and ‘Outstanding Student Support’.
I predominantly teach quantitative research methods and statistics to students at undergraduate, masters, and PhD level. I am particularly interested in the pedagogy surrounding teaching statistics and I undertake research to better inform my teaching practice. This research has highlighted the diversity present within the student cohort at LSBU and has helped me develop a variety of learning support strategies specifically targeted at how best to support LSBU students learn about, and value the importance of, research methods and statistics. I have presented my research findings and examples of best teaching practice at national conferences.
Following my PhD in visual perception and attention, I have continued to research cognition within applied settings, as well as expanding my research using mixed-methods. I have supervised PhD students and research assistants in numerous areas, including cognition and dyslexia, emotion and food preferences, binge eating, attitudes and preferences to remote working, statistics anxiety and self-efficacy, and most recently issues surrounding safeguarding Transgender and gender non-conforming young people.
