I am currently enrolled in the Master of Clinical Psychology at the Australian Catholic University. As part of my training, I am completing a placement at the Gender Centre Inc., which is where I have been able to apply evidence-based practices to assist people experiencing gender dysphoria and other kinds of distress to thrive and be their authentic selves.

I'm an aspiring clinical psychologist and researcher, who is passionate about compassion-focused approaches that support gender and sexually diverse minorities.

I completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Advanced) with First Class Honours at the University of Adelaide in 2023. In 2024, I am completing my Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney.

I'm driven to ensure LGBTQIA+ needs and voices remain at the forefront of my research and to establish compassionate understandings that avoid pathologising and stigmatising queer experiences. I hope to achieve all of this while remaining grounded in rigorous science and quantitative (and qualitative) reflexivity.
