I am a final-year student at the University of Oxford, reading for an MSci in Experimental Psychology. Before moving to Oxford, I grew up in Belgium and have lived in several other countries as a child. I have been interested in psychology and mental health for as long as I can remember, and hope to complete a PhD in this field in the future. I also love to read, dance (especially ballet) and go on long walks with my dog!
