Biography
My PhD research focuses on narcissism, empathy and its physiological correlates using psychophysiological research methods. The basis of this research was formed during my undergraduate and graduate dissertations, which investigated the association between narcissism, visual perspective taking and interpersonal functioning.
I have extensive research experience from working as a research assistant on NIHR and EPSRC funded projects on issues relating to relapse prevention and mental wellbeing at workplace.
My PhD supervisors are Dr. Erica Hepper and Prof. Mark Cropley.
