I am a 50th Anniversary Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University in the area of Investigative Expertise. I am also a member of CREST, Security Lancaster, and the Social Processes Group. I received my PhD from Memorial University as a member of the Psychology and Law lab.
My research interests include safeguarding legal rights for adults and youth and advancing research and practice on investigative interviewing. Specifically, my research works toward (1) developing a theoretical model of the cognitive, social, and language factors that moderate and mediate individual's comprehension of complex information (i.e., legal rights), and (2) developing a theoretical model of the cognitive and social factors that influence information provision in investigative interviews. Even though I'd like to pretend that I have some interesting hobbies, when I am not conducting research I am busy chasing around and entertaining three little rascals.
I am always looking for motivated students to join my research lab. If you are interested, please contact me!
