Introduction and area of work:

I studied my undergraduate degree at Sunderland University. I graduated with a 2.1 BSc in Pharmacology in June 2006 and I studied my Masters degree at the University of Teesside. I graduated with an MSc in Forensic Science in October 2007. I worked in Sanofi-Aventis, a quality control laboratory November 2007-October 2008. I started my PhD in October 2008. I am looking into the neurobiological consequences of low level exposure to organophosphate pesticides.

I work in the psychobiology research group in the Catherine Cookson building with my supervisors Dr. Sarah Judge, Professor Peter Blain and Dr. Chris Morris. I am interested in the effect low level exposure to organophosphates in adults may have on behaviour and neurochemistry.
