I firstly graduated from the University of Stirling with a BSc (Hons) degree in Sport and Exercise Science in 2015, before completing an MSc in Sport and Exercise Science & Medicine at the University of Glasgow in 2016. I then joined the University of the West of Scotland in 2017 as a PhD student to investigate the influence of physical activity and exercise as a countermeasure to the physiological and neuropsychological ageing process. In particular, my research interests involve investigating the influence of physical activity and exercise on vascular and cognitive function in healthy ageing. To assess this, I use vascular ultrasound to investigate the structure and function of the peripheral and central vasculature. This includes using a novel technique commonly used in echocardiography to assess arterial function in greater detail. Whilst I have conducted research involving both healthy older male and female participants, I am particularly interested in understanding how different modes of exercise can influence vascular and cognitive health in older females. I have also recently worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow where I have investigated the feasibility of a mobile app-based intervention to improve physical activity levels in older adults during social isolation. I am therefore also interested in understanding the effectiveness of technology to help improve health and wellbeing in vulnerable groups.
