I am currently an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Music, and part of the teaching staff on the MA Music Management and MA Psychology of Music programmes. I'm a postdoctoral Research Associate on the project Mapping Music for Health and Wellbeing in Sheffield, funded by Research England.
