I am an Organisational Psychologist at the Alliance Manchester Business School, within the PMO department. My research is currently focusing on regulatory decision making in high-risk industries.
I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and also hold the BPS in Test Use qualification, to administer Occupational, Personality and Ability tests.
I have a keen interest in organisational behaviour/psychology, particularly around the use of technology in virtual and hybrid workplaces.
Following the explosion in home working during the pandemic, my PhD research focused on how virtual meetings may affect remote workers' experiences of work-family conflict, job satisfaction and performance. I focused on how virtual meetings may increase the perceptions of technostress in remote workers (i.e. feeling overwhelmed by the amount of online interactions encroaching personal time or that it was making work more complex.
I have worked on additional research projects since looking at how employees have adapted to new ways of working since the pandemic, with a focus on hybrid work in particular.
Prior to embarking on my academic journey, I gained extensive experience in business development and consultancy within the UK financial services sector. My professional experiences inspired my academic research, which led me to where I am now.
I have delivered a number of external talks to various organisations. If you would like to know more, please do get in touch.
I have experience in quantitative, including advanced methods such as Structural Equation Modelling. I also have experience in using qualitative methods such as interviews and audio methods of data collection.
I have experience of teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level, using both face-to-face and online teaching methods. I teach a range of topics in Organisational Pyschology, from teamwork, technology and flexible working. I also supervise MSc dissertations.
I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).
