I qualified as a speech and language therapist from Sheffield University in 2006. In 2007 I worked as a part time research assistant at the Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit, examining data from ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children).  After gaining a two year studentship from the Underwood Trust in 2007, and 1 year studentship from the Douglas and Elizabeth Charitable Settlement in 2009, I was able to enroll on a PhD under the supervision of Sue Roulstone and Annette Swinkels. My PhD investigates children with Specific Receptive Language Impairment, exploring evidence of deficit for this populations and theories of therapy, and is soon to be submitted.
My primary research interests are in language impairments in children. I am currently working as a part time research assistant as part of the NIHR programme grant  'Child Talk- what works'. This project is examining evidence based interventions for pre-school children with Primary Speech and Language Impairments.
