I completed my bachelor’s degree in Human Sciences at the University of Oxford, where I developed an interest in genetics, culture and behaviour. I also joined a band, and spent three years in the music industry while tutoring students with special educational needs. During this period, I started volunteering at The Listening Place, providing in-person listening support for suicidal adults in London. Inspired by this work, I completed a psychology conversion at Goldsmiths. Following this, I have worked as a research assistant at King’s College London in the CAMHS Digital Lab, supporting digital innovations in child and adolescent mental health care. Most recently, I worked as an assistant psychologist in the autism assessment team at Croydon CAMHS. My research interests include mental health support in schools and the use of technology in mental health services.
