Overview

I am a social psychologist with an interest in violence prevention.

Areas of expertise: aggressive behaviour, violence prevention, bystander interventions, systematic reviews, qualitative and quantitative research in social sciences.

As part of my PhD I am involved in the Bystander Intervention in Football and Sports project as one of the researchers. 

I am also the current Postgraduate Research Representative for the Institute of Health Research at the University of Exeter Medical School, and work as the Postgraduate Teaching Assistant at the College of Life and Environmental Sciences.

I am the PsyPAG Representative to the BPS South West of England Branch.

Outside of work, my interests include travelling, playing ukulele, and painting.

I am also the University Coordinator of the Pint of Science Festival 2019 and 2020 in Exeter, and the Chair of the organising committee of the SWDTP Conference 2018 in Bristol.

Qualifications

MSc Social and Organisational Psychology (University of Exeter)

Mini-MBA (Management & Marketing Universal Business School)

BA (Hons) Psychology and Social Work (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv)

Career

In 2012 I obtained my BA in Psychology and Social Work from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. During my study, I was employed as a Trade Union Organiser at the University. To satisfy my training needs in social psychology, I then applied to the University of Exeter. During my MSc at the University of Exeter, I developed a particular interest in aggressive behaviour and bystander approach to violence regulation.

After graduation, I returned to Ukraine where I was working as a Social Media Marketing Manager and Administrator for a UK-based company. In 2014 I obtained an intensive mini-MBA from MMU Business School (online short course) and received my News Presenter Certificate. It took me 4 years to understand that academia was my calling in life. In 2017 I have successfully applied for the Exeter International Excellence Scholarship for Postgraduate Research and am now part of the Institute of Health Research at the University of Exeter Medical School. It is hoped this research will promote safer behaviour among young adults.
