I am currently working on my PhD at UCL looking at childhood and adolescent migration, social determinants and psychosis risk. 

I am interested in using a variety of methods to capture the experience and risk of mental health problems in diverse populations. I am using social and psychiatric epidemiological methods to explore whether migration in younger ages changes psychosis risk when compared to migration in adulthood and why this may be. I will also be looking at whether these changes are consistent across different ethnic groups and whether social determinants post-migration play a role in psychosis risk. I am also interested in documenting the experience migrants through qualitative interviews. 

I have an interest in using mixed-methods to answer research questions from a variety of perspectives. I have experience in using a variety of research methods and including people with lived experience of mental health problems as well as using my own lived experience to inform the research process.

I am funded by the Wellcome Trust and on the UCL-Wellcome Mental Health Sciences PhD programme.
