Biography
After studying for a BSc in Neuroscience, I worked for an online start-up the arts sector. I returned to academia to complete an MSc in Psychology, after which I joined the Great Ormond Street UCL Institute of Child Health to complete my PhD and work on the national IMAGINE ID study (Intellectual Disability and Mental Health: Assessing the Genomic Impact on Neurodevelopment).
Research Summary
I have two main research interests; one is focused on understanding the impact of co-occurring mental health difficulties in children and young people with neurodevelopmental disorders and/or rare genetic disorders. The other is how best to use technology to improve the identification of autism in children, and digital approaches to psycho-social intervention.
My PhD piloted the online delivery of a social skills training programme for girls with a rare genetic disorder called Turner Syndrome. I’m currently developing a video-based autism screening tool for children aged 7 to 12 years olds for parents and an online observation schedule for clinicians.
