I joined the IoPPN in January 2018. I initially worked as an RA within the Neuroimaging department where I then started a full-time PhD in February 2020.

My PhD investigates time-varying patterns of emotional reactivity and their relationship to dynamic functional connectivity both at rest and in response to complex naturalistic stimuli (i.e., musical excerpts and movie clips).

Before joining King's, I studied psychology at the University of Paris Descartes (BSc and MRes) and then worked clinically across a variety of sectors: school, Mencap, and most recently in the NHS as an Assistant Clinical Psychologist (CAMHS). 

Research interests

I am keen to apply the most recent advances in neuroscience and mental health research to shape assessments and therapeutic interventions in the context of clinical and educational settings. 

My main areas of research interests include:

• Emotional reactivity and risk for psychopathology
• Social cognition in neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., autism)
• Complex PTSD (childhood abuse/neglect), subsequent brain development and later mental health difficulties

Research groups

• Dr. Owen O’Daly’s laboratory (Neuroimaging department, IoPPN)
• SAGA-B (test-retest reliability of structural and functional neuroimaging in healthy adults; Neuroimaging and Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences departments, IoPPN)
• DRUMASD (impact of learning to drum on behaviour and brain function in autism; Neuroimaging department, IoPPN)
