Research interests
Moving beyond my background in Cognitive Neuroscience, in recent years my research has become firmly grounded in evidence-based learning and teaching in higher education settings with a focus on student experience and wellbeing. I am particularly interested in developing educational interventions that facilitate deeper statistical literacy learning in students, understanding the role and impact of test anxiety and identifying ways to make education and assessments authentic, inclusive, and accessible for all.
