Professional biography

I am a Black-British Postgraduate Researcher and a Grand Union Scholar in the School of Psychology and Counselling funded by, the Economic and Social Research Council (ERSC) of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Prior to starting my PhD, I worked in the National Health Service (NHS) as a registered cross-speciality Clinical Research Practitioner. I also work as a Research Assistant on the Open Societal Challenge (OSC) funded project ‘BUSSIN’.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in, BSc (Hons) Psychology with Criminology from Nottingham Trent University in 2020.

Research interests

My research explores the psychological experiences of Black women and Black birthing people accessing NHS maternity services within the UK. I do this using an interdisciplinary (multiple schools of knowledge) lens. This includes but is not exclusive to, decolonial and anti-racist psychology, critical race psychology, Black feminism, organisational psychology, global health, sociology, gender studies, life sciences.

I am interested in research that challenges current eurocentric systems and structures, in order to make progressive and transformative change in society.
