About me
Mental health care in Australia wasn’t designed for people like me. Navigating the system as a young person with borderline personality disorder made that clear—delayed diagnoses, mismatched treatments, and stigma left me questioning why our system often falls short for those who need it most. This question has shaped my path. As a Clinical Psychology PhD candidate and aspiring clinical psychologist, I’m committed to transforming how we understand and support people at the intersection of ADHD, autism, and personality disorders. After completing my Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), I’ve spent the past few years working with neurodiverse young people and their families, witnessing firsthand the risks of delayed mental health treatment in this population. I’ve also experienced the pervasive stigma surrounding personality disorders within the healthcare industry. My goal is to challenge that stigma and drive meaningful change from within. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing netball, vintage shopping, and hunting for the best vegan restaurants in Melbourne.
"My research explores the overlap between ADHD, autism, and personality disorders, aiming to redefine rigid diagnostic systems for earlier and more accurate interventions. I aspire to reduce fear and barriers to treatment, ensuring all Australians can access the care they need."
