I am a provisional psychologist , currently in my second year of the Clinical Doctorate program. I am passionate about providing one-on-one psychological support to clients, while also conducting research which can have a wider impact . In the NMI lab, my research is focused on the neural correlates of depressive dynamics in breast cancer survivors. To achieve this, my research utilises both ecological momentary assessment and resting-state fMRI in a cohort of breast cancer survivors. Additionally, I’m interested in leveraging the lab’s advanced integrative neuroscience platform (STREAMLINES) to create individualised profiles of breast cancer survivors to help better understand their unique mental health needs. Moreover, we are also seeking feedback on our individualised profiles from clinicians through semi-structured interviews. I am dedicated to improving mental health outcomes for breast cancer survivors, and I hope that my research will inform the development of more effective treatment and support strategies for this population.
