I am a research assistant, primarily working on a study establishing the feasibility and scope of a Global Mental Health Databank. This project is an exciting opportunity to work directly with young people to establish how they would like to interact with such a resource. The databank will provide insight into what works for young people experiencing mental health problems.
I recently completed my PhD thesis investigating borderline personality disorder and its relationship with gender and trauma. Before this, I worked on a project investigating mathematics anxiety in primary and secondary school students in the UK.
