About

I am a Lecturer in Psychology with a background in the creative arts. My professional portfolio includes psychology in occupational settings, acting, writing, filmmaking, and applied arts and consultancy in dementia care, mental health, education and criminal justice settings. I teach across a range of topics in psychology and research methods. Current research includes a quantitative investigation of relationships between fiction and empathic abilities and moderators of those relationships.
