Profile
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Youth Resilience Unit. I currently work on the Barts Charity funded longitudinal cohort study exploring risk and resilience factors in preadolescent children in East London. My research focuses on how social, cognitive, and emotional processes shape young people’s mental health, including how digital experiences may influence anxiety and depression over time. I use quantitative modelling and experimental tasks to understand how young people process emotional information and how this relates to their wellbeing.
I completed a BSc in Psychology at Brunel University, an MSc in Genes, Environment and Development at KCL, and a PhD in Psychology at QMUL. In my PhD research, I examined how war trauma and displacement shape cognitive and affective processing and psychopathology risk in refugee children.
