BIO

After completing my degree in psychology at Cardiff University, I went on to complete a PhD in psycholinguistics at Cardiff University. I subsequently took up a post-doctoral position at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London (KCL), which examined neuroimaging of episodic memory in Alzheimer's Disease. Following this, I was awarded a Wellcome Trust Value in People Fellowship, which further explored neuroimaging of Alzheimer's Disease. I then switched to clinical psychology, and completed a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, KCL. After this, I worked at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability and then returned to the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. I joined the Division of Psychiatry at University College London in 2016.
