PhD student at the University of York at IGGI. Specialized in player experience and perception in games, I'm working on understanding player difficulties such as being stuck for player with a focus on the impact of emotional design.
Thrilled to be nominated by @gamerepublic.bsky.social for the Best Game-Related Research Award. I'm looking forward to attending the ceremony as GaMaYo on the 13th November, with another super-skilled @iggi-phd.bsky.social researcher, Tania Dales!

And play all the games I can. Needless to say.
