I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Portsmouth and my Masters in Psychological Research Methods (Evolutionary Psychology) at the University of Stirling.
During my masters, I developed an interest in assortative mating and online dating. I completed my dissertation on assortative mating for personality in an online dating environment.
I am currently undertaking a PhD project investigating how the designs of online dating platforms may negatively influence users mental health.
My research interests include evolutionary psychology, mate preferences, and faces.
