Psychology
Profile
Background
I graduated with first class honours from my B.Sc. Psychology at the University of Portsmouth. I then undertook an M.Sc. in Forensic Psychology at the University of Surrey where I graduated with a Distinction. I am presently studying for a Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Portsmouth where I am a member of the International Centre for Research in Forensic Psychology. I am also a member of the International Investigative Interviewing Research Group (iIIRG).
Research interests
My research focuses on suspect behaviour in forensic interviews. I am examining whether there are any stable typologies of suspect behaviour that can be used to inform interviewing strategy, particularly in relation to high volume crime. My supervisors are Dr. James Ost, Dr. Alessandra Fasulo and Prof. Aldert Vrij.
