BIOGRAPHY
I completed my BSc in Psychology at the University of Essex in 2008. I worked as a research assistant for Dr Tim Rakow, before going on to obtain a Postgraduate Certificate in Mental Health to work as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner. I returned to the University of Essex in 2010 to begin a 1 + 3 ESRC funded PhD.
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
I am researching dual process models of decision making in risk taking. In particular, sequential risk taking tasks such as the Iowa Gambling Task and the Balloon Analogue Risk Taking task. I am also examining physiological measures such as skin conductance.
