ABOUT ME
I completed my first degree in Psychology at the University of East London and liked it so much that I wanted to study it further. I then completed an MSc in Intelligent Systems, at Brunel University, before moving to the Department of Experimental Psychology, at Sussex University, where I completed my PhD.
