She/Her
What expertise will you bring to AI?
With a BSc and MSc in Health Psychology from Northumbria University, I have worked as a Research Assistant for over two years, contributing to a range of projects. My work has included studies on the effectiveness of sun protection apps, the cognitive effects of Lion’s Mane Mushroom, and factors influencing engagement with district heat networks in collaboration with Gateshead Council and Innovate UK. For my MSc thesis, I explored the determinants of future cervical screening uptake among young adults in North-East England. I am passionate about applying my research to improve public health outcomes and promote wellbeing.
Research Interests
I am very interested in all aspects of health, particularly screening behaviours, nutrition, exercise, women’s health, and sexual health. I am passionate about exploring how AI can be implemented into the current Healthcare system. I am also very interested in Net Zero innovation and sustainability. Through my experience as a Research Assistant, I have also developed an interest in behaviour change and community engagement research. My favourite research methods are interviews, focus groups, and workshops.
What made you want to apply for CCAI?
I believe I have a growth mindset; I want to continuously develop my skills and learn new things. My motivation for applying for the CCAI was learning how to code, which is something I never thought I’d be able to do. I think this will be an essential skill for my future career goals in academia. I am also really excited about the design element, and I cannot wait to see how I will incorporate my learning and complement my current skills over the next year on the PhD project.
What are your ambitions for AI? How do you plan to change the world?
As someone who is very new to AI and computer science, my goal is to conduct research which engages those who are unsure or worried about AI use. I am passionate about exploring the unique needs of different community groups. I also believe AI tools could be useful to deliver training for healthcare professionals and improve patient outcomes within the NHS. I want to collaborate with those supporting a positive and safe future for AI, especially within the Healthcare system.
