Research & Work
My research sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and psychology, with a focus on digital family financial behavior and young people's financial harms. My work combines academic rigour with practical, people-centred outputs that can make a real difference.
In practice
Workshops
I've delivered challenge-based workshops in collaboration with Bath College, using these sessions to bring awareness of online financial harms among young people. These workshops provide an engaging, hands-on education on financial harms while promoting creative problem-solving and presentation skills in students.

Education Game - Trip Hustlers
Trip Hustlers is an online educational game for young people aged 13 to 15.
Players step into the role of a secondary school student who starts an online
side hustle to earn money for a school trip. Along the way, they build financial
and digital literacy by navigating realistic challenges, including spotting scams,
evaluating online content, and making safer cybersecurity decisions.

Investigating the balance of privacy versus security in online family banking
Digital banking for children has become much more common, but little research has looked at how it affects family money management or whether these services meet families' needs. This study will interview 30 teenagers (aged 13–17) and their parents or guardians to understand their experiences using digital banking. The findings intend to help identify how families use these services and highlight ways they could be improved.
