I obtained my PhD in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck, University of School and MSc in Psychology (Distinction) at Nottingham Trent University. I have Postgraduate Certificates in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education from Birkbeck, University of London and HR Management from Nottingham Trent University. 

Prior to joining the Norwich Business School, University of East Anglia I worked at the department of Organizational Psychology, Birkbeck. 

My PhD research examined positivity at work including lay concepts of positive thinking and organisational expectations around displaying positivity and employee reactions to that. My research interests include organisational antecedents of employee wellbeing and growth with a particular focus on psychological safety and work meaningfulness in the neurodiverse population. I'm a mixed method researcher with an interest in grounded theory method and experiments.
