Welcome to my personal website!
I am a Psychology Researcher and Seminar Leader in the Department of Psychology at Kingston University London. I have been awarded the first prize as the Best New Researcher 2019 in the Faculty of Law, Social and Behavioural Sciences. During the last two years (2019 & 2020), I have received two academic grants for my academic merit and research.
My research is focused on the social and academic inclusion of adolescents with and without visual impairments. I am particularly interested in self-esteem, self-concept, quality of social relationships, social support, academic performance and classroom participation.
I have a Degree in Primary Education and a Masters in Special Education. Visual impairment has been my field of expertise for the last seven years. I have certified qualifications in Braille and my Master's dissertation was about the academic and social inclusion of students with visual impairments in higher education.
I am currently working as a seminar tutor and supervisor in Psychology and Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods. I am also working as a teacher and I am supporting children with learning disabilities, psychological disorders, intellectual disability and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).
I am also a member of the Advance HE (formerly Higher Education Academy) and I have QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).
In this website you will find information about my academic research, my presentations in conferences, my publications and my non-academic articles that you will find in my blog. You can learn more details about me by exploring the next pages.
Thank you for being here and keep in touch!
