Meet our scholars

I'm fascinated with psychology and deeply believe that every person can flourish under the right circumstances and with the right supports. I am specifically interested in how flourishing and other positive psychology concepts may intersect with existing measures in substance use treatment, exploring new perspectives on how success is measured in this area. I identify as AuDHD, and for me, being neurodivergent comes with both great strengths and immense challenges, personally and professionally. I strive to maintain a balance and share the reality of my experience with those I interact with, to advocate for and create a welcoming environment for anyone who identifies with me. My lived experience of disability, mental illness, substance use, and eventually flourishing fuels my commitment to creating meaningful change in the field of substance use treatment outcomes. Outside of work and study, I enjoy taking pleasure in the mundane tasks of adult life, playing Scrabble with my mum, reading fantasy novels, and embroidery.
