Megan commenced her undergraduate degree as an Access student. She graduated with a Bachelors Degree from the University of Limerick in Psychology & Sociology in 2018. More recently, She has completed a PhD in Psychology. Her thesis, ‘The Stress of Income Inequality’, investigated the complex relationship between income inequality and health. Her interest lies in how contextual, social, individual and biological factors interact to affect people.She is also interested in research that is aimed at making lasting change within communities.

Megan’s work in the SLSS Hub involves developing a standardised framework for performance measurement to assess community-based programmes. This will facilitate comparisons across locations and will strengthen the current evidence base for how these programmes influence offending behaviour in young people. This self report measurement tool will be focused on capturing concepts that make a lasting change in offending behaviour and will consider macro, meso and micro level factors
