I am currently an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Fellow in the Department of Cognitive Science at Macquarie University. I completed my PhD at Macquarie University, in 2010, before completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center of Autobiographical Memory Research at Aarhus University, Denmark. In 2012, I returned to Macquarie University as a Macquarie University Research Fellow. My research focuses on the way that memories are shared in groups, the ways that memories can be triggered, and the functions that memory serves in bringing meaning to people and building social relationships. I aim to use experimental psychology in more “real-world” contexts – people in intimate groups remembering their personal memories – to better understand remembering and forgetting in individuals and groups and to find applications of this research in settings such as education and ageing.
