Research interests: mental health intervention, decision-making, social and affective processing
“I am a practicing clinical psychologist, with a M.A. in Economic Analysis from the University of Sydney. My clinical experience includes working for public mental health services in Sydney, non-governmental organizations (including my current role with the Black Dog Institute) and private practice. I am joining Professor Tymula’s team with an interest in exploring the information processing, specifically neuro-computational underpinnings of depression and anxiety with the aim of informing clinical intervention.”
