After completing my BSc in Psychology at The University of Manchester, I was fortunate to gain a Research Psychologist post at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square funded by the Henry Smith Charity and supervised by Drs Jacqueline Foong and Pamela Thompson. This three year longitudinal project also formed the basis of my PhD (passed) at the Institute of Neurology, UCL: "Neurosurgery for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Psychiatric Outcome and Relationship to Cognitive Function".

During my final year PhD write-up, I worked as a Research Assistant in Professor Cathy Price's Language Group at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL (http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/Price/). This project (on-going) aims to improve outcomes in surgery for brain tumours using advanced MRI, funded by the Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre.
My current position, as a Research Associate in Professor Curran's Clinical Psychopathology Unit, is funded by the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (http://www.drugscience.org.uk/about/us/). With the help of my collaborators, this research aims to investigate the neural (fMRI) and psychological effects of single doses of different types of 'medical' cannabis in healthy humans.
