About

I am a Lecturer in developmental psychology and my research interests include social and developmental psychology. 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. As a qualitative researcher, I am drawn to the meaning of the narrative and the experiences of the individual. 

Currently, my research focus is:

• Educational transitions for typically and atypically developing children
• Resilience in action for children that look different during school transitions
