Biography
I am currently working on my PhD which aims to identify mediating factors that promote well-being during the pandemic. I have an MSc in Child Psychology and my dissertation looked at 36- to 48- month old children's understanding of number. I am currently working in clinical and critical care research at Great Ormond Hospital for Children. Prior to that I worked in a psychiatric mental health hospital in CAMHS which promoted my interest in mental health research.
