Elysia is an Impact Officer with Research and Innovation services at LJMU, supporting the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Health. Additionally, Elysia is a PhD Researcher at LJMU's Face Lab, where she focuses on how facial texture (surface information of the face) and display conditions of forensic facial depictions affect recognition. This branches across the psychology of face perception, forensic anthropology and forensic art.

Further to this, Elysia assists on Face Lab's facial depictions of archaeological remains and received her PCIfA from the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists in 2024. Additionally, Elysia has contributed to the Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) project "Women at the Edge of Empire," depicting archaeological faces. She is a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) with Cert FA-iii accreditation and a member of the British Association for Forensic Anthropology (BAFA), as well as is an International Response Team Member for Blake Emergency Service.

Graduating with First Class Honours in Archaeology & Anthropology from the University of Southampton (Year Abroad at University of Western Ontario, Canada), Elysia then earned a Distinction in MSc Forensic Art & Facial Identification from the University of Dundee.
After interning as a forensic artist for The City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service (CECAS) she began her PhD research between Face Lab at LJMU and the University of Central Lancashire, under supervision from Prof. Caroline Wilkinson, Prof. Charlie Frowd and Dr Sarah Shrimpton.

Elysia held a research position at the University of Southampton between 2019-2023, analysing impact data for the Humanities European Research Area (HERA) and leading to her appointment as LJMU Impact Officer in 2024.
Elysia has worked as a Research Assistant on multiple short-term projects, including; 'Doctoral Management Research Assistant' role at LJMU Law and Business School (LBS) in 2022, two projects for LJMU's School of Justice Policing Department in 2023 and Funding/Impact Research for JMSU Start-up Hub in 2024.

In 2021, she was awarded an AFHEA qualification, which she has used in her role as a Teaching Support Officer and Demonstrator across multiple faculties at LJMU, delivering lectures, practical and supervising excavation.

Outside of Elysia's core work, she is involved in a PGR-led EDI collaboration with the Doctoral Academy and EDI HR Team, developing resources and workshops. Elysia is a co-founder and was Vice-President of the LJMU RIDE (Respect, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity) Society and became a Student Trustee for LJMU's student union (JMSU) in 2022.
