I received training in Cognitive Psychology from University College London (PhD, 2009), where I studied false memory. I then came to Washington University in St. Louis, where I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate since 2009.

My first position was in two Memory/Labs (headed up by Roddy Roediger and Kathleen McDermott). There I was involved in both basic memory research and applying cognitive psychology to education.

Meanwhile, I decided to learn Flash so that I could run experiments online. I then went on to teach flash and write a textbook.

My current position is in the Personality Assessment Lab, headed up by Thomas Oltmanns. Here I am developing advanced statistical techniques and expertise in individual difference measures, which I plan on applying to my metacognitive research.

In the past I have also consulted as a data analyst for Decision Technology, a UK-based commercial/academic hybrid company that specializes in human decision-making.
