Welcome to my blog 👋.

(25/03/2025)

A lot has happened in the first 6 months, from starting my own research network - SRN Midlands, to planning managing two large scale research events (oh, and starting this blog)! I've participated in numerous training sessions, written countless drafts, and felt overwhelmed and out of depth one too many times. I've encountered obstacles, learnt that getting things wrong is okay and normal, and how much of a pain university bureaucracy can be. The last few months have definitely been huge in my personal development, to say the least 😅. But am I enjoying it? Absolutely yes!

As for my PhD project, it's moving, albeit slowly... Though I've had it drilled into me that a PhD is a marathon and not a sprint, don't rush and take your time! I've got a clearer plan on how my PhD will be carried out and managed to refine it into three empirical studies with an initial plan for each one! I'm now working towards my confirmation review now 😬 how time flies!
