About

I work at Oxford Brookes University and The Open University

My research focuses on young people and alcohol. During my PhD studies (completed 2013) I developed an intervention to reduce alcohol misuse in young people based on the Prototype Willingness Model.  I’m now working on a project to pilot the intervention, and on other projects related to alcohol, adolescents and students.

My main teaching responsibilities are related to research methods and statistics for Psychology.  I teach quantitative and qualitative methods modules, as well as a seminar class on the social psychology of drinking alcohol.  I am also an Oxford Brookes Teaching Fellow, one of a team working on a project to enhance the way we help students learn about statistics.

I am the Communications Officer for the West Midlands Branch of the British Psychological Society
