Interests

Professional Interests

• Dyslexia: At first I was drawn to this topic due to my own experience of dyslexia. Now however, having spent a couple of years studying and researching the disorder I hope to investigate dyslexia further, especially it’s effects in adulthood.
• Computer programming: I am relatively new to coding, I am currently developing my programming skills in R, VB.net, HTML, and Python. 

• Student Mentoring: I have extensive experience in student mentoring both as a paid public speaking mentor for Bangor University’s POPPS program, private tuition and as a Leaps into Literacy Volunteer.
