      I think I feel most proud that my research helps challenge stereotypes and discrimination. I really hope that this contributes to adolescents experiencing less of this in school, future careers, and society!

      I feel very proud of the opportunity to support people through difficult times and see collaboratively agreed treatment make a difference in their lives . It evokes an indescribable feeling !

      I’m particularly proud of my postgraduate students, who for example, are researching how cancer nurses cope with the stress of the job (really important at the moment because cancer care, like all healthcare, has been hit by covid) and how we can design really motivational physical activity programmes for children with autism. It’s a great pleasure being able to supervise such dedicated students as they pursue their own career ambitions.

      I’m most proud of the children that I worked with on my research, and seeing them engage in lots of really amazing social interactions while using digital technologies. So often we hear about what autistic people find difficult or challenging, and so my work really highlighted that when in the right environment, everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

      I am proud of my research work that involves helping to understand how people experience pain. I am also proud to support my students to work towards their goals.

      I am proud that I have taught, helped, facilitated and created passion for psychology in many students over the years. I’m also proud that my research may touch people and improve things for others, even if it is just adding to the knowledge-base. I am also proud I am able to collaborate with people therapeutically to help them manage pain.
