Background
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Chinese Traditional Medicine and Health Management, and subsequently pursued a Master's degree in the Psychology of Mental Health. I have recently completed my PhD, and my research interests focus on human–animal interactions, particularly in relation to young people's mental health and wellbeing, and the impact of pet ownership on psychological wellbeing.
