Biography

I am a PhD student in psychology conducting research in digital health.

My background is in psychology, having completed my combined BSc in psychology and neuroscience before going on to do an MSc in clinical psychology. Prior to university I was involved in web design and hosting, which has led to my interest in digital health and persuasive technologies.

Research

My research interests are in the fields of digital health and persuasive technologies, specifically regarding uptake and engagement with treatment.

I am currently trialling 'MotivATE', a novel web-based intervention to increase engagement with eating disorders outpatient treatment.
