I am a clinical psychologist, researcher, and lecturer.

I am passionate about body image and disordered eating in health and clinical populations. For example, my research spans topics including endometriosis, peripartum, inflammatory bowel disease, and eating disorders more broadly (particularly intervention and early intervention). I use mixed methods and value lived experience and co-design.

I am the topic coordinator for WELL1002/8002 Developing Your Own Mental Health and Wellbeing and teach into several WELL topics.
