I am a PhD student in the Digital Mental Health Group, supervised by Amy Orben. I completed my Bachelor in Advanced Studies (Psychology) at the University of Sydney and have previously worked as a clinical researcher at the Brain and Mind Centre. I am interested in examining how social media use impacts adolescent's mental health at the individual level and developing digital interventions to improve young people's wellbeing.
