I am an experimental social psychologist specializing in judgement and decision-making. My research explores how verbal uncertainty is interpreted, the perception of behaviour change interventions, and autonomy in health communication. As a member of the Society for Improvement of Psychological Science and the Psychological Science Accelerator, I also collaborate in replicability efforts in social psychology. Further work involves contributing to the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training to research the teaching of Open Scholarship and examining neurodivergence in academia. Having ADHD myself, I also investigate neurodivergent people's workplace experiences and biases towards neurodivergent patients, collaborating with students on these projects. Finally, I am a passionate educator, teaching statistics using R and the principles of Open Scholarship on the BSc Neuroscience and Psychology, of which I am deputy programme leader.
