I'm a PhD researcher at the University of Bath with a background in psychology and criminology.

My research explores how young people experience money in a digital world, from the way families talk about finances to the financial harms and risks they encounter online. I'm interested in making technology and financial systems work better for the people who use them, particularly those who are most vulnerable.

Taking a people-centred approach, I work towards practical, real-world resources that help families, educators, and organisations better support young people.
