Background
I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Glasgow in 2018, before graduating from my MSc in Health Psychology from the University of Bath in 2019. I have worked with children and adolescents across the world, from Germany to Vietnam, and across a variety of clinical and educational settings. Moving back to Edinburgh after my MSc, I took a year out before starting my PhD, where I worked at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children during the COVID pandemic. I started my PhD in September of 2020 exploring sensory processing and social cognition in young people with autism and anorexia nervosa.
