PhD Candidate, University of Stirling
I am a second year PhD candidate in Psychology at the University of Stirling. My PhD research focuses on understanding and overcoming psychological barriers to organ donation. I have a particular interest in the role that emotions play in the decision to register as an organ donor. I am also interested in organ donation laws (opt-out versus opt-in consent) and exploring factors that might influence people’s decision to opt-out of organ donation.
I completed a BSc in Psychology at the University of Stirling in 2015 and an MSc in Clinical Health Psychology at the University of Strathclyde in 2017.
