Profile

Julie graduated from a BSc (Hons) Psychology degree in 2005 and completed her MSc in Psychological Research Methods in 2006. She is also a Graduate member of the British Psychological Society. Prior to moving to SHSSW, Julie was a researcher in the Psychology department for several years and worked on numerous research projects during this time. These projects included investigating the first career destinations of psychology students, exploring the experiences and perceptions of first year psychology students, as well as research investigating memory and the transmission of stories.

Using a mixed method approach, Julie is currently researching the relationship between the effectiveness of environmental strategies in reducing falls injury, and the psychosocial effects (particularly acceptability and  quality of life issues) of these strategies for those at risk of falls and fracture. This PhD project is funded by the National Osteoporosis Society.
