About
I completed a degree in Psychology (2011), and then a Masters in Social Psychology (2015) before starting a PhD in 2017, of which I am in the final year. My research is focussed on gambling. I am particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms involved in mutual aid groups, and their relationship to problem gambling recovery.
