My background is in psychology research, with a particular interest in clinically relevant research to support autistic people. My PhD was focused on camouflaging or masking in autism, aiming to understand and measure the ways in which autistic people feel pressured to hide or compensate for their autistic traits. I have also been involved in research aiming to improve the ways that we diagnose autism in adulthood.

At the University of Bristol I am developing my skills in epidemiology methods, with the aim of conducting longitudinal research to identify and track factors that impact mental health of autistic people across the lifespan. I supervise projects related to autism diagnosis and post-diagnostic support, and use coproduction approaches as much as possible.
