About me
About me
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Dundee. I then completed my PhD at the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE) at the UCL Institute of Education. I worked as a Lecturer (Teaching-Focused) at Royal Holloway, University of London before starting as a Lecturer at the University of Stirling in January 2020.
Research
My research interests focus primarily on the experiences of autistic adolescents and adults. For example, I am interested in camouflaging behaviours, disclosure, autistic identity, autism acceptance and stigma, mental health in autism and the experiences of autistic students at university. I welcome enquiries from potential students or collaborators interested in these areas. In particular, I would be very interested in supervising PhD students on topics looking at either disclosure and camouflaging in the workplace or at university; the development of camouflaging and/or autistic identity; or projects looking at improving mental health and wellbeing for autistic adults.
