Biography

I am a first year PhD student and a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the Edge Hill University, Psychology Department, working under the supervision of Professor Derek Heim and Dr Rebecca Monk. My research focuses on alcohol effects on mood and perception of facial expressions. I hold an MSc in Mental Health Research from the University of Nottingham, where my research project focused on alcohol consumption at home (presented a poster on this topic at the SSA Annual Conference 2019), and a BSc in Psychology from the University of Exeter, where my dissertation focused on the perception of social progress and its role in decision to engage in collective action.
