I am a lecturer in Management (Organisational Psychology) and a Chartered Occupational Psychologist (HCPC registered). I received my Phd from the University of Nottingham (2007) and I undertook an EPSRC postdoctorate (Risk and the design engineer) at Loughborough University (2007-2009). I have worked at Exeter, Sussex and Bournemouth Universities. I took a 2 year sabatical from academia in 2015 (returning in 2017), to work in the 3rd sector on projects supporting women's vocational development and engagement with the labour market following displacement. This was a tremedously rewarding time for me and I continue to contribute to this area of work through my ongoing research.
In my research I use principles of Psychology to address the following questions:
I have published my work in journals such as Human Relations, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, Journal of Management, Personnell Review and Work and Stress, amongst others. I have recieved funding from the Economics and Social Sciences Research Council (ESRC), Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), The Big Lottery (UK) and The Railway Safety and Standards Board (RSSB), among others. My research and impact work in the area of equalities informs UN's ssustainable goal 5 (Equality for Women and Girls).
