I am a first year PhD student examining depressive symptom trajectories from young childhood into emerging adulthood. I am particularly interested in statistical methods that allow conclusive longitudinal analyses in the context of informed developmental theories. Before starting my PhD studies, I have obtained an MPhil in Medical Science (Psychiatry) at the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Psychology from the University of Münster, Germany. In my graduate studies at Cambridge, I have studied the assessment of childhood adversity and the interplay of resilience enhancing factors. My graduate studies at Münster had a focus on Clinical Psychology and Experimental Psychopathology. Also in Münster, I was awarded a small grant that enabled me to investigate mental health in refugee populations.
