Daffodil blooming

Work is very busy and quite stressful at the moment but seeing all the daffodils I planted back in October start to bloom is definitely lifting my mood and getting me excited for Spring / Summer 🌼🌷🌿

Just finished a 2 hour introductory workshop to R @cebsap.bsky.social delivered by colleagues in our Institute. It was my first ever experience with R and the workshop was fantastic! I *think* I've got my head around some of the basics and looking forward to learning more 🤓 #AcademicSky

To finish this introduction, I thought I should mention that I’m utterly obsessed with my dog, Peanut. And he will feature in lots of posts moving forward 🐶 bye for now everyone 👋🏼

Always happy to collaborate and work with others. I’m a mixed methods researcher with a predominant interest in qualitative and creative methods. If you have similar interests and would like to reach out please drop me a message 😁

I’m at the stage of my career where I’m trying to find my feet as an individual researcher post PhD. This includes developing, refining and proposing my own research ideas, applying for research funding and finding my niche.

I am also particularly interested in behaviour change and my role with @cebsap.bsky.social sees me working on a range of funded projects in this area. We are currently working on a project exploring a range of health behaviours, including vaping in young people.

Mobile Phone Use in Romantic Relationships: A Longitudinal Survey Hosted on the Open Science Framework

This project involves a longitudinal study with three time points. We have included a range of measures as one key aim was to create an open access dataset for researchers to use for their own interests in this area. To find out more about this check out our OSF pre-registrations here: osf.io/kqfvp/

Another project I’m currently working on is part of my postdoctoral role with @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social where I’m exploring the role of mobile phones in romantic relationships, with the broader aim of understanding how technology can be used positively to foster healthy relationships.

“OMG you look amazing”: A systematic examination of the text-based interactions surrounding UK adolescent girls’ self-images on Instagram Appearance-related content is ubiquitous across highly visual social media platforms, in both imagery and text. The present study aims to explore the …

I recently (December 2024) published another paper from my PhD which adopted a novel methodology to examine text-based interactions surrounding UK adolescent girls’ self-images on Instagram. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My PhD research focused upon understanding appearance interactions & body image on social media. A paper I published in 2022 aimed to understand adolescents’ shared understandings and experiences of these interactions online: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I’m a cyberpsychologist with a keen interest in understanding the risks and opportunities afforded by digital technologies, particularly for adolescents. I’m interested in social media and the role this plays in adolescent body image, mental wellbeing and identity development.
