Biography

I received my BSc in Psychology in July 2025 at the University of Aberdeen. I started my PhD in October 2025, funded by EastBio. My PhD project examines how stress impacts eyewitnesses' memory and the effectiveness of investigative interviewing interventions in facilitating accurate retrieval of instances of repeated events, particularly events of a sexual assault or domestic abuse nature. I am supervised by Dr Eva Rubínová, Prof Louise Phillips, Dr Susan Griffiths and Dr Feni Kontogianni from the University of Winchester.
