Biography

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Bradford in 2012. In 2013, I obtained MSc in Investigative Psychology at the University of Huddersfield. I have recently graduated with a PhD from the University of Huddersfield. My PhD focused on women’s perception of intimate partner abuse in the UK. 

My academic career began in 2022 when I became a part-time lecturer in Forensic Psychology at Leeds Beckett University. By the summer of 2022, I joined the University of Bradford and became a lecturer in Psychology.

My research interests are in Criminal and Social Psychology. I am particularly interested in the topics related to cultural issues including interpersonal violence and honour. I have a broader interest in issues and challenges faced by ethnic minority groups in the UK.
