About
I am a Lecturer in developmental psychology and my research interests include social and developmental psychology in educational settings. My recent research has looked at the process of resilience and educational transitions. I am keen to understand how children experience school transitions from an ecological approach. This includes children with a visible difference, neurodiverse and neurotypical developing children. As a qualitative researcher, I am drawn to the meaning of the narrative and the experiences of the individual and/or the group.
Currently, my research focus is:
- Educational transitions for typically and atypically developing children
- Resilience in action for children that look different during school transitions
- Peer relationships and resilience as a process
