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.
I am currently undertaking a PhD project investigating the psychological impact of online dating. My research explores how dating platform design and motivations for online dating influence wellbeing, interpersonal perceptions, and self-evaluative outcomes, as well as how people form impressions from dating profiles.
My research interests include evolutionary psychology, mate preferences, and person perception from faces.
