I am a doctor and a MPhil candidate in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge. My research focuses on disordered eating and eating disorders in children and young people. More specifically, I analyse data from national surveys such as Oxwell and MHCYP to examine if the increase in eating disorder incidence also means there is an increase in the population level prevalence. I am also a Young Person Ambassador for the Association of Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH)
