About Me
I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney, Australia, having moved recently from the University of York, UK. I hold the titles of Fellow (FBPsS) and Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) of the British Psychological Society. I also serve as the Director of the Health, Effectiveness, And Retention of Teachers (HEART) Research Group and the Co-Convenor of The Wellbeing of tEachers and Leaders in schooLs (WELL) Node.
My research interests lie in understanding what makes great teachers and school leaders and how to support their effectiveness and wellbeing. My aim is to contribute to improving teacher retention rates and increasing the social status of the teaching profession.
I have engaged with numerous national and international organisations, including UNESCO’s International Teacher Task Force; UK Government’s Open Innovation Team (Department for Education); GIZ (German semi-government development agency) in Malawi; and ImpactEd (UK education non-profit).
