I qualified as an Orthoptist from The University of Liverpool in 1998, following which I worked at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and undertook an MSc in Investigative Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences at The University of Manchester. I completed my PhD with Professor Richard Abadi in 2003 at University Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST - before merger into The University of Manchester). Shortly afterwards, I joined Professor Chris Miall at the department of psychology, Birmingham University. I took up my current position as a lecturer in the Faculty of Life Sciences in September 2006 where together with Dr Ellen Poliakoff, I lead the Body Eye and Movement (BEAM) lab, researching sensory perception, imitation and autism.
