Emily Spencer - The Path Less Travelled

Emily Spencer, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Emily is a second-year PhD student at University College London (and our newest staff blogger), in this blog she provide an intorudction, sharing her unconventional academic journey and experiences as a researcher and soon-to-be parent.

Growing up as the 'academic' one in a large family, Emily's route to academia was not straightforward. She casually chose to study Psychology at Bath, which led to valuable research experience and a publication. After various jobs ranging from a research administrator to working in a psychiatric hospital and as a musician, Emily returned to research during the pandemic. Now at UCL, she's working on a PhD about communication in advance care planning for people with dementia, documenting her experiences in research and her personal life, including her pregnancy, in real time in her future blogs.
