I have been a researcher in the Population Health Sciences Institute at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ since July 2019.
My research contributes to the Public Health and Health Inequalities theme. My research interests pertain to self-management, quality of life, and supportive care needs in underserved populations.
Qualifications
Doctor of Philosophy, Âé¶¹´«Ã½
MSc Health Psychology, Northumbria University
BSc (hons) Psychology, Northumbria University
Previous Positions
2018 - 2019 Senior Research Assistant, Northumbria University
I am currently working across two projects: (1) the Ways Ahead project, looking at improving support for people living with a brain tumour; (2) theme six of the Blood and Transplant Research Unit (BTRU) in organ donation and transplantation at Cambridge and Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Universities, assessing the experiences and outcomes of solid organ transplant recipients.
In addition to the above, my research involvement spans a broad range of cancer survivorship and early diagnosis, including: post-traumatic growth in cancer survivors, unmet needs in advanced cancer, cervical screening attendance, bowel symptoms in cancer survivors, and physical activity in childhood cancer survivors.
I am currently supervising an undergraduate Psychology student on work related to the Life After Transplant project.
I have previously supervised two Masters in Public Health students and two student interns on work related to the Ways Ahead project.
