Biography

I am a PhD researcher at the University of Manchester, specialising in loneliness and mental health interventions for children and adolescents. My research interests include young people's mental health, school-based interventions, and trial methodology. Previously, I worked as a research assistant for the Bradford NHS, and as a Trial Support Officer and Research Fellow at York Trials Unit, coordinating and supporting various education and mental health intervention trials. I hold an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of York and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from Sheffield Hallam University.
