Current research

Currently working on the OPTIMA RCT trial. The goal of the Online Parent Training for the Initial Management of ADHD referrals (OPTIMA) is to provide support for families for 3 months during the period between referral acceptance and the first full clinical assessment. It focuses on supporting parents to better manage their children’s co-occurring behaviour problems.

Prior to this I completed my PhD exploring parenting stress and post migration stress in asylum seeking families.

Concurrent to my PhD I also enjoyed teaching including developmental psychopathology and reserach methods.

Other responsibilities include several years as chair of the CiMH lab meetings and one year as a paid intern in the doctoral college to support the doctoral college festival.
