Personal profile

Personal Statement

I joined the University of Strathclyde as a Teaching Associate in Psychology in 2022.

I contribute to teaching across all levels of the BA Psychology programme, as well as the BSc in Psychology and Counselling. In addition, I teach on a range of MSc modules and supervise dissertation and research projects at undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional doctorate levels.

I currently hold the role of Second Year Tutor for BA Psychology and serve as the Exams Officer for the BA Psychology degree programme.

Teaching Interests

I am currently the Class Leader for the following modules:

  • B9200 - Introduction to Mental Health Difficulties (BSc Psychology & Councelling)
  • C8201 - Cognition and Neuropsychology (BA Psychology)

In addition to the above classes, I also teach on the following modules: 

  • C8203 - Introduction to Research Design and Analysis
  • C8304 - Cognition
  • C8321 - Research Methods and Data Analysis
  • C8426 - Honors Dissertation (Supervision)

Research Interests

I am a mixed-methods researcher with a primary focus on the Psychology of Education and applied scholarship in higher education. My current research examines statistics anxiety among university students, exploring its underlying causes and investigating evidence-based interventions to support learning. I also have a strong interest in educational technology, including the pedagogical integration of virtual reality (VR) and generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI). This work considers both the practical application of these tools and how students engage with, evaluate, and reflect on them through a meta-cognitive lens.
