She then went on to receive an MPhil in English and Applied Linguistics and a PhD in Second Language Acquisition from the University of Cambridge. Prior to joining the University of Edinburgh, she held research and teaching positions at Bangor University (UK), Aalborg University (Denmark) and the University of Reading (UK).

Vicky’s main research interests include the development and processing of morphosyntactic phenomena in monolingual and bilingual children with typical development and language impairment from infancy to adolescence. Her research has a strong crosslinguistic focus (English, Chinese, Danish, French, German, Greek, Turkish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh) and utilises a range of experimental techniques (behavioural and eye tracking) to research these phenomena.
