About

I am currently a Provisional Psychologist and Doctor of Psychology (Clinical) candidate at Deakin University. My primary areas of interest and research include emotion regulation, parenting and parent and child mental health (including wellbeing in the perinatal period). I also worked as an Economist, with eight years of consulting experience. I specialised in policy and program evaluation in health and social policy topics, with an interest in mental health, education and causes addressing disadvantage especially in youths. I am a motivated individual with good communication skills. I am meticulous and proactive in what I do, with a strong technical background to support my analytical skills. Being an excellent team player and having a flexible approach, I have the ability to adapt my experience to the environment I am working within.
