I am a DPhil student in Psychiatry, supervised by Eleanor Leigh, Omid V Ebrahimi, and Cathy Creswell. I am affiliated with the TOPIC, CAMY, and EDGE research groups.

My research focuses on developing a better understanding of anhedonia (i.e., loss of pleasure) in young people, within the context of depression and social anxiety. To study this, I am using a range of different methods, including qualitative, network, and longitudinal analyses.

Prior to this, I graduated with a BA in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford. During this time, I worked with Eleanor Leigh and Cathy Creswell on an experimental study investigating the role of self-focused attention in social anxiety in pre-adolescents.
