I am a Postdoctoral Research Assoiciate with the NIHR Mental Health Research Group. My research focuses on improving mental health outcomes for children and young people through the development, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of psychological and behavioural interventions. I am particularly interested in early, accessible, and scalable approaches to mental health prevention and treatment, including school-based and digital interventions.
