I joined Wrexham University in October, 2023. This is my first permanent position in academia, and I previously worked as a sales representative in the technology and construction industries, as well as a lengthy spell in retail.
Outside of work, I am a keen football fan, and am qualified as both a coach and referee. I used to coach mostly children, however stepped up and coached an adults amateur team before moving down to Wrexham. If not coaching, I'll be found watching Hibernian FC, or the Scottish National Team (for my sins!)
My overarching interest is in the field of personality. More specifically, I look at the differing levels of the personality hierarchy, and look to see how we can improve predictive accuracy of personality-outcome models. I also have a keen interest in group differences, understanding more about what matters for some people, but not others.
