I am interested in the relationship between adolescents' social media use and mental health variables. My PhD research is focused on understanding the links between adolescents' online social communicative behaviour, in particular their use of likes, comments and shares, and their levels of anxiety and depression.
I am a member of the Social Development Lab at Royal Holloway, University of London.

I work as a Teaching Associate in the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. I currently run workshop and lab classes on the Introduction to Psychological Research module (PS1010) for first year undergraduate students.
