Education

I completed my bachelor’s degree at the University of Cambridge, where I developed an interest in the psychology of gender, families and social issues. After a year working abroad, I undertook my interdisciplinary master’s degree in gender studies at the University of Oxford, focusing my research on the visibility of perinatal mental health throughout the pandemic.

Experience

I started my career working at the United Nations Development Programme in Copenhagen. Following my master’s, I trained as a PWP and worked in IAPT for two years. After volunteering for a few years at Oxfordshire Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre, I then moved into a full-time staff role until starting the doctorate.
