ABOUT ME
My doctoral research was conducted at Trinity College Dublin and explored adolescent developmental events from a bio-ecological perspective and their impact across the lifespan.
I am currently working on a series of projects to disseminate my findings to inform policy and practice, including ​an edited book with Dr Sarah Helton that explores the "frontiers" of bereavement research from an interdisciplinary, intersectional perspective. This includes new academic theories, models and frameworks in grief and bereavement. If you would like to submit an abstract, please contact me for further details.
