I am a graduate in Clinical Mental Health from University College London with a history of working in the mental health care industry as a Research Assistant for several high-impact research studies. I have also worked in social care and as a volunteer for various mental health charitable organisations (Shout UK, Redkite). My research interests lie in mood disorders and psychosis, particularly their relationship with social connectedness and isolation. I currently work across two roles: as a Research Assistant within the Community Navigator Trial at North London Foundation Trust, and at the McPin Foundation, where I am exploring how subjective experience research is shaping the mental health research landscape.
