About the author:

My research interests centre on exploring the relationship between brain and behaviour across both pathological and non-pathological populations, with a particular focus on child development and neuropsychology. I am interested in how this research can inform the creation of targeted interventions that not only support young individuals but are also accessible and culturally relevant to diverse demographics.

What I want to achieve:

My goal is to contribute to research that deepens our understanding of the brain-behaviour relationship across diverse populations and, through disseminating these insights, help shape the development of interventions that are both effective and globally accessible. I am particularly committed to ensuring that underrepresented groups are included in such research to ensure the creation of more equitable and inclusive support systems that can positively impact a broader range of individuals.
