Profile

I am a Research Assistant at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ working on an intervention programme called 'The ONE' project, which is being delivered in collaboration with the University of Oxford. The ONE project focuses on training early years practitioners to engage children in play-based activities that support maths skills. The intervention aims to examine the benefits of developing cognitive skills, called executive functions, within the context of mathematics development.

Qualifications

- Bsc in Psychology, University of ºù«Ӱҵ

- Msc in Psychological Research Methods with Advanced Statistics, University of ºù«Ӱҵ.

Research interests

I am interested in how socioeconomic attainment gaps in early maths skills emerge, with particular focus on high-level cognitive skills, such as executive functions and early maths development in young children.

Professional activities and memberships

Additionally, I am a qualified primary school teacher, with over 15 years of experience in primary education.
