I am a Master of Philosophy candidate in the Develop Well Lab in the University of Adelaide's School of Psychology. My research investigates how autism, social anxiety, and related traits impact children's understanding of, perception of, and engagement in the social world around them.

More generally, I am also interested in anxiety, neurodivergence, mental health and wellbeing, individual differences, and developmental psychology.
