Research summary

As a teaching-focused statistics lecturer, my research areas are eclectic; I serve as a statistical collaborator across a range of projects from sexual objectification to childhood attachment. In my own work, I am interested in investigating parental burnout and its contributors and overarching effects in both parents and their children. Previously, my work focused on using machine learning techniques on structural and functional neuroimaging data to investigate atypical brain development and aging.
