Research

At CASCADE, I have been involved in two research projects exploring child criminal exploitation. One project focusses on service data from Children's services and the Youth Justice Service to examine outcomes for young people and families receiving support. The second project is a co-production with professionals tackling child criminal exploitation (children’s services, education, health, housing, police, youth justice and youth work). The goal of this project is to produce materials that can help professionals better support young people at risk of criminal exploitation. 

Previously, I was a Research Associate at the Cardiff Unit for Research and Evaluation in Medical and Dental Education (CUREMeDE). In CUREMeDE I carried out qualitative analysis (literature reviews, interview and focus group analysis) on projects exploring professionalism in dentistry, healthcare regulation, and GP training in Wales. Findings from these projects have been published in the British Dental Journal and BMC Health Services Research, with further publications in progress. My experience at CUREMeDE has also inspired me to contribute to Doing Research Online, an online research methods resource published by SAGE.

I completed my PhD in Language and Communication at the Centre for Language and Communication Research at Cardiff University in 2019. My doctoral research was among the first to study domestic use of videochat through the analysis of video recordings and interviews. In 2016, I co-edited a volume titled Downscaling culture: Revisiting Intercultural Communication. The findings from my PhD have appeared in the edited volumes and in the journal Multimodal Communication.

Teaching

I specialise in teaching qualitative research methods at any level. I have created bespoke training about running focus groups and analysing qualitative data for Healthcare Inspectorate Wales. I regularly teach undergraduate and postgraduate students about interviewing and focus group methods. I have also taught seminars on a wide range of topics at the Centre for Language and Communication Research and the School of Social sciences. I have achieved Fellowship of the HEA in October 2022.
