My main research interests are friendship, cross-cultural psychology, wellbeing, and emotion perception. In particular, I have focused on how friendship size differs cross-culturally and how this influences the use of contextual information when judging emotions. I am also interested in how friendship is related to wellbeing and shared values. I would also be open to hearing about projects relating to interpersonal relationships.

I am currently a Research Associate on a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) which examines the effects of shared values on young people's pro-environmental behaviour and hope about the future of the planet. I am a member of the following lab groups at the University of Bath: Critical Research in Social Psychology (CRISP), Social and Cultural Cognition (SCC), and Environment, Transport & Sustainability (EnTS).

I have previously worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant on Beyond School Gates, funded by the Nuffield Foundation and BA, looking at children and community integration using social network analysis to see how diverse children's friendships in the classroom and beyond are.

I have also worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate, funded by the British Academy, looking at cross-group friendships and race talk.

I also collaborated on a project looking at parental attitudes towards cultural diversity in schools.
