I am currently working on the Bereaved carers’ perceptions of end-of-life experiences of primary brain tumour patients study. This is a mixed-methods study that will invite bereaved carers to share their experiences of caring for someone who died from a brain tumour.

Previous appointments:

I have worked on several studies as a research officer based in Leeds Institute of Health Sciences. These studies have been with various populations such as Muslims with depression; adults with type-2 diabetes and a learning disability; and older adults with sub-threshold depression.

My PhD research consisted of three studies and investigated the self-perception of emotion in individuals with non-epileptic seizures (University of Leeds, 2023).
