Biography

I am a Research Assistant on the EDIFY research project, using qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse social media use among young people with eating disorders.

Current Research

I am currently a Research Assistant on the EDIFY research project, using qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse social media use among young people with eating disorders. I previously was an RA at the University of Warwick, where I worked with Professor Jo Angouri to analyse internationalisation discourses in European Commission policy documents, focus group and interview data, and European University Alliance mission statements. Before that, I was a Research Assistant on the Coronavirus Discourses project in the School of English at the University of Nottingham, and on an interdisciplinary Avian Influenza project with the Schools of English, Geography and Veterinary Science.
