Joey is a Research Fellow at the University of Hertfordshire on the NIHR-funded WHISPA programme, which aims to improve the effectiveness of workplace health and wellbeing initiatives, particularly in SMEs. Her work focuses on how these initiatives are implemented and how they can reduce sickness absence and prevent ill health.

She is also an applied psychological researcher specialising in mental fitness, positive psychology and process-based approaches to performance and wellbeing. As a near-completion PhD researcher, she has developed a personalised mental fitness framework and assessment tool to support self-directed growth and coaching.

Her research combines applied positive psychology, contextual behavioural science and public health to design and evaluate real-world interventions, with a focus on digital approaches and inclusive design for neurodivergent adults.
