I am a University Teacher and Researcher in mental health. I have special interests around student mental health, the use of lived experience of mental health in teaching, narrative approaches in mental health, and the impact of technology on mental health. My PhD thesis at the University of Sheffield was on 'the role of emotions in online learning'. I am the academic lead for the University of Sheffield's 2025 'PGR Well-being Strategy'.
