I work as a research assistant for the REFUEL-MS project, aiming to develop a combined behavioural and exercise intervention to improve fatigue for people living with MS. My role involves working with healthcare professionals to bridge the gap between intervention research and implementation, to maximise the feasibility of our fatigue intervention being used as part of standard care for people living with MS. 

Research Interests

• Fatigue in MS, particularly non-pharmacological treatments for MS-related fatigue including behavioural and exercise interventions.
• A previous area of interest of mine has been exploring the recovery journeys of survivors of encephalitis (a type of acquired brain injury) in terms of their experiences of psychological and emotional adjustment post-injury.

Expertise and Public Engagement

I presented a poster at the 19th annual conference of the World Federation for Neurorehabilitation (specifically the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Special Interest Group) in October 2022 to share my research exploring emotional adjustment after acquired brain injury resulting from encephalitis (or inflammation of the brain).
