What do you do?

As a PhD candidate, my role can be slightly chaotic: my days are spent commuting, reading, designing experiments, writing, teaching, and sharing what I find with my colleagues.

At the time of writing this, I have completed two out of my three experiments for my thesis.

As a lecturer, I teach a range of modules on the Undergraduate and Higher Diploma courses. Prior to this role I worked as a teaching assistant.
Why are you a member of ACBS?
As a member of ACBS, I enjoy being connected to likeminded people, including students with similar interests to myself, as well as more experienced members, who are always happy to offer advice and guidance. I am involved with a number of groups, including the Contextual Philosophy of Science special interest group (SIG), the Relational Frame Theory SIG, and of course, the UK&ROI chapter, which has helped me to connect with students and professionals who live close to me. Being a part of ACBS has also allowed me to attend a range of excellent conferences, trainings, and social events.
