I was inspired to undertake an MSc looking into the development of prosocial moral reasoning in ASD and typically developing children. I was lucky enough to have access to this interesting group of individuals through my job as a learning support assistant at a secondary school.
Post masters I accepted a PhD in Aberdeen which was tied to a teaching role in the department. This position allowed me to pursue two of m passions, research and engaging students in their learning experience. My PhD thesis concentrates on sources of variability in numerical cogntion, and the research chapters discuss findings based on differences in processing number information as a result of representation, healthy aging (into older adulthood)and sex differences. I am currently finishing writing up my thesis whilst starting my latest adventure as a Lecturer in Psychology at EHU.
