Amelia Newton.

About me.

I am a PhD student on the eastbio doctoral training partnership based in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews. My PhD project focuses on the cognitive mechanisms underpinning performing under pressure, specifically in dance performers.

Additionally, I am a strong advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), aiming to ensure that everyone is visible in all aspects of research. I am a member of the eastbio EDI subcommittee, actively working to integrate inclusive practices into the doctoral training programme.

I am passionate about sport, and have recently started long-distance running. I also love taking photos!
