Faye started her studies at the University of Bath, completing her degree in BSc Psychology. Alongside her studies, Faye worked as a researcher in urbanicity and health in the Department of Psychology at the University of Bath. During her placement year she travelled to Uppsala in Sweden, where she worked as a guest researcher at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research. Faye was awarded the Guarantors of Brain award and the Student as Producers Grant to travel and present her research at multiple international conferences during her undergraduate studies, including in Barcelona, Florence, Nice and Stockholm.
More recently, Faye was awarded as a finalist for Inside Housing Magazine's 2024 Woman of the Future award, for her commitment to housing and health research.
Faye has joined AAPS to further investigate associations between people and their living environments to understand how this influences mobility and health.
Faye’s PhD investigates how the built environment (such as the transport networks and transport facilities around our homes) influences mental health, and whether this can be explained by active travel behaviour. Faye will also explore these relationships in childhood, and investigate how the built environment (including transport networks and facilities) and travel behaviour shapes child brain development.
