I grew up in the UK and studied Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Warwick (UK) and later the Philosophy of Cognitive Sciences at Sussex University (UK).
I then moved to the Basque Country to study a masters in the cognitive neuroscience of Language at the Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language (BCBL, Spain).
Following that my doctoral training was in the cognitive neuroscience of language at the BCBL and the University of the Basque Country EHU/UPV (Spain). I was supervised by Dr Eiling Yee (University of Connecticut, USA) and Dr Kepa Paz-Alonso (BCBL). I wrote my PhD thesis on the representation of conceptual information in the brain.
After my doctoral studies I worked as a Senior Research Associate at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich (UK) where I studied spatial perspective taking and spatial language with Prof. Kenny Coventry.
While at UEA I participated in the i-teams entrepreneurial programme and received training in commercialising spin-off projects from academia.
I have worked with ed-tech startups and as a consultant in data analysis and educational technology.
I now work as an R&D research officer / consultant and a LID researcher at Adoc Talent management.
