BIO

I am an early career researcher currently undertaking a PhD examining how group psychology can shape the public response during mass casualty incidents. Prior to this, I achieved a distinction in my Psychology MSc where I designed and conducted a research project recruiting and interviewing members of the public who participated in counter-protests in response to the 2024 anti-immigration demonstrations. I also have advanced training and experience in qualitative analysis, survey design and advanced statistics. Additionally, my background as a secondary school teacher has equipped me with strong skills in communicating complex concepts clearly and achieving excellent outcomes under strict time constraints.
