\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
I joined Edinburgh Napier in 2017 as a technician, and became the senior psychology technician in 2018. I work hard to improve student experience and to create a comfortable and challenging working environment for our students. Nothing makes me more proud than student success, and I am really chuffed to have been nominated for an Above and Beyond award at Napier for Outstanding Student Experience in 2020. I have a strong technical background in academia and will assist with most statistical, analytical, methodological and equipment issues if needed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I completed my PhD in 2016 in cognitive neuroscience, and believe anyone assisting students and academic staff should maintain their understanding of their work. So, I continue to actively publish and you can see a list of publications below. Please get in touch if you need help with anything psychology research-related, are interested in my research, or just want to know more about us here at PsyNaps.<\/div>\n
