Summary

I am a clinical psychologist working in neuropsychology in Bristol, UK. I am undertaking post-doctoral training in clinical neuropsychology. My research focuses on the intersection of neuropsychology and psychometrics, particularly regarding executive functioning, ageing and neurodegenerative disease. I have published several articles and given talks at national and international conferences. I have also served as a peer reviewer for several journals. I provide research supervision to students on the MSc Applied Neuropsychology course at the University of Bristol. I have previously contributed to the neuropsychology teaching on the South Wales Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
