    Biography

    Biography

    In 2020 I graduated with a First Class Honours in Human Geography from Keele University. Following this in 2021 I graduated my Masters studies with a Distinction in "Social Science Research Methods' From Keele University.

    During my Undergraduate and Masters studies I was able to focus my interests in Health and Social Geography, with a practical focus on research methods and the reflexive research process.

    Following my studies I was able to work as a Research Assistant within the School of Geography, Geology and the Environment at Keele University. Where I worked on numerous research projects highlighted below:

    - Evaluation of Electro mobility (E-mobility) in Staffordshire (SIMULATE ADEPT Live Labs Programme)
    - Delivering Net Zero: Electric vehicle adoption and tackling gender exclusion
    - Levelling up the United Kingdom to secure sustainable rural livelihoods: co-delivering Staffordshire's Rural Economic Strategy
    - Burnout within the medical profession: Potential influence from the design of hospital space

    Currently I am working on my PhD, partnered with STAMMA (The British Stammering Association), which uses a multi-method approach to explore the everyday life and wellbeing of young people who identify as having a speech dysfluency.
