Background
My PhD research uses participatory approaches to explore young peoples' reading motivation and their experiences with reading for pleasure. More information about the project can be found here: The Young People’s Reading Project – Literacy Lab (ed.ac.uk).

Prior to starting my PhD at the University of Edinburgh, I completed my BSc and MSc in Psychology at the University of Birmingham and worked as a Research Assistant on Literacy and Reading projects at Aston University.
I also currently co-convene the UKLA Special Interest Group on Participatory Approaches in Literacy Research with Dr Sarah McGeown (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Melanie Ramdarshan Bold (University of Glasgow).
