Biography	I am a postdoctoral health psychology and health services researcher, with an academic background in psychology and social sciences. I received my PhD in 2025 from City St George's, University of London, which used a range of qualitative methodologies to explore experiences of people living with age-related macular degeneration. My current role at University of Hull/HYMS is to undertake research on recruitment challenges within the LaCeS 2 trial (a multicentre, randomised controlled trial of Laparoscopic versus Open Colorectal Surgery in the Acute Setting). Prior to joining University of Hull, I was a Research Fellow at City St George's, University of London. At City, I conducted mixed-methods research on various health psychology topics within ophthalmology/eye health, including: patient perspectives on new treatments for dry age-related macular degeneration; improving support for relatives of people with visual impairment; and patient experiences and clinician perspectives on screening for sickle cell retinopathy.
Research Interests	My research interests include: - Psychological experiences of chronic health conditions, and improving practical and emotional support for patients/caregivers - Involving patients and healthcare professionals in qualitative research to improve healthcare service delivery - especially in the context of clinical trials - Psychological and social dimensions of living with eye disease and/or visual impairment - Critical perspectives on disability in older age - Qualitative methodology - Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE)
