My research focuses on exploring the impact of specialist mentoring on the outcomes of autistic students in higher education. My work aims to identify the key components of specialist mentoring to support student wellbeing and academic success, with the goal of improving services and promoting inclusivity throughout university.
When I am not undertaking my research, I enjoy running and cycling to stay active and clear my mind. I also keep pet chickens because they are wonderful.
