Education

University of Stirling
Stirling, Scotland

Master of Science from Psychology
11-2023

University Overview

  • Overview: Completed a conversion degree designed to transition from a background in Bioinformatics to Psychology, covering key modules such as Individual Differences, Social Psychology, Cognition, Quantitative Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, and a Placement Module.
  • Graduated with Merit.
  • Placement Module: Contributed to the creation of a student handbook for undergraduate psychology students at the University of Stirling.
    Authored the chapter on Auditory Perception, providing comprehensive insights into the mechanisms of auditory processing.
  • Research Project: Conducted a thesis investigating the potential relationship between schizotypy and language cognition using lexical priming.
    Recruited 89 participants to complete a lexical decision task with five types of word pairs (e.g., phrasal associates, unrelated word pairs) and administered the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences-Short (O-LIFE-S) to assess schizotypy.
    Findings revealed a significant associative priming effect and a negative correlation between schizotypy scores and priming size, consistent with prior research on semantic memory activation.
    Recommended further exploration using other types of associates to gain deeper insights into aberrant semantic memory processes in individuals with high schizotypy scores.

Interests

Poetry writing

Poetry

I enjoy writing and reading poetry, often using it as a way to reflect on emotion, thought, and the intricacies of human experience. Poetry allows me to explore language creatively and maintain a personal connection to storytelling beyond scientific writing. I have published a book titled The Volatile Musings of a Mind, which explores themes of introspection, transformation, and identity.

Midjourney Artist

I am a passionate MidJourney creator, using the tool to visually explore ideas that often echo the same themes I write about in poetry—emotion, nature, and human complexity. It allows me to experiment with visual storytelling and adds another layer to how I express and communicate meaning.
