Profile

I am a Research Associate with iHuman and the School of Education at the University of Sheffield. I am currently working as a Research Associate for the Development phase of the Wellcome Anti-Ableism Research Culture project. I previously worked on the ESRC funded project 'Humanising Healthcare', where we employed ethnographic methods, narrative interviews, and co-production to explore examples of humanising healthcare with people with learning disabilities.

Research interests

My research work to date has been situated in applied psychology, with a particular focus on families and siblings. My sibling research focuses on siblings of children and adults with learning and developmental disabilities. I am a volunteer Research Associate for the UK charity Sibs and am collaborating with colleagues from various disciplines to establish the Sibling Studies Network. I have experience of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research approaches.
