Profile
I gained my undergraduate degree in English Language and Linguistics at the University of York in 2011, followed by a master's degree in Psychology of Education at the University of Manchester in 2013.
After working as a project coordinator on the Wellcome Language and Reading Project at the University of York, I completed a PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2018 on the language and literacy development of children learning English as an Additional Language in primary school.
From 2017-18 I worked as a Researcher at the National Foundation for Educational Research where I contributed on a number of test development projects, including materials for KS1 and KS2 SATs reading papers.
From 2019 to 2022 I served as a Research Fellow on the Dynamic Assessment of Reading Test (DART) project, working with Dr. Hannah Nash in the School of Psychology. More information on the project can be found here.
