I am an Associate Professor of Child, Educational and Community Psychology. I have been the joint programme director for the Doctorate in Educational, Child and Community Psychology programme since September 2022.

My specific areas of professional interest and specialism are linked to how we support the wellbeing and mental health needs of children and young people, particularly those who have experienced adversity and those at risk of exclusion from school.
