PhD - Master of Psychology - Health Candidate

School of Psychology

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

My research interests are diverse but broadly related to health equity, health systems, and the provision of health care across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in the psychosocial and wellbeing impacts of health issues and health care provision and the evaluation of existing health services.

I am currently undertaking a Doctor of Philosophy in Medicine (Psychology) under the supervision of A/Prof Clemence Due and A/Prof Anna Ziersch. My PhD research focuses on psychological wellbeing and health service engagement for families from the Middle East in the First 1000 Days (from conception to two years post-birth).

In addition to my PhD research, I am currently employed as a Research Assistant in the School of Nursing, and as a Research Officer in the Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Service (CAMHS). In these roles I am currently working on projects related to the mental health of undergraduate nursing students; provision of health care for people with an intestinal stoma; and improving mother-infant relationships for women with Borderline Personality Disorder.
