Background

About Olivia Lennox

I am currently developing my professional competencies with University College Dublin as a Trainee Educational Psychologist by conducting a doctoral thesis and working for multiple psychology services on placements. I have a first class honors degree in Psychology from the University of Galway for which I carried out an original piece of qualitative research exploring parents knowledge, attitudes and practices in promoting the social development of their preschool children. From my research experience in the Health Promotion Research Centre Galway, I gained a particular interest in child and adolescent health and wellbeing. I am a published author on the CLICKBITE study; Reducing Digital Food Marketing to Children and Adolescents as well as the international Health Behavior in School-aged Children study among others. In my role as an Assistant Psychologist in Waterford Child and Adolescent Primary Care, I enjoyed assessment, formulation, supervision, delivering interventions and teamwork. I became certified as English Language Teacher with International House Madrid to progress my career in education and working with others.
