Personal Statement
I am a lecturer at the University of Liverpool, and an early career researcher in the field of perinatal mental health and infant feeding. I completed my undergraduate Psychology degree at The University of Liverpool in 2017 and graduated with a First Class (Hons). I graduated from my PhD studies in December 2022 (completed with the University of Liverpool, October 2017 - June 2021). My doctoral thesis is titled, "The Postpartum Period: Using a Series of Mixed-Methods Studies to Investigate Determinants of Infant Feeding and Maternal Emotional Wellbeing Outcomes". I received the Doctoral Thesis Prize from the Society of Reproductive and Infant Psychology (SRIP) for my contributions to the field of perinatal psychology (September 2023). I specialise in perinatal mental health, morality (i.e., guilt and shame), infant feeding, infant development, and qualitative research methods.
