I grew up in London and lived there all of my life until moving to Oklahoma in 2006. I am currently studying for my Doctorate in Instructional Psychology and Technology. I am also a teaching assistant for the Educational Psychology department at the University of Oklahoma and teach psychology of childhood and adolescence to pre-service teachers.

Areas of educational psychology which are of interest to me include:

  • Epistemic beliefs, values, standards and skills.
  • Metacognition.
  • The effects of studying philosophy on epistemic beliefs.
  • Philosophy in schools.

I have a B.A. Hons. in Philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London and have my Post-Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) in Primary Education with Modern Foreign Languages from Goldsmiths College, University of London.
