Profile
I joined the Centre for Preventive Neurology as a PhD student in 2022. I am currently writing up my doctoral thesis, which is a mixed methods exploration of the impact and experience of menopause for people with multiple sclerosis. This has involved conducting a large longitudinal cohort study with the UK MS Register and a qualitative interview study within the NHS.
I am also a postdoctoral research associate in the Centre for Psychiatry and Mental Health working on the Advancing Delirium Emergency Pathways and Treatment (ADEPT) project, a large qualitative study aiming to use a systems-engineering approach to understand how delirium contributes to poor patient outcomes in the emergency department.
Prior to joining QMUL I completed a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Health Psychology and Clinical Skills. I gained experience as a research assistant at UCL working on the ESRC-NIHR funded Empowering Better End-of-Life Dementia Care (EMBED-Care) Programme and have previously worked in roles supporting older people and people living with dementia in care homes and in the community.
