I completed my doctorate at the London School of Economics and Political Science – Department of Health Policy (Care Policy and Evaluation Centre; NIHR Studentship) in 2024.

My ethnography, Reconsidering Our Turn Towards Trauma: A Psychosocial Study of Mental Illness, Social Suffering and Service User Subjectivity, employed psychosocial methodologies to critically reexamine the trauma concept and its use in care practices for those with serious mental illness.

I received my BA from Barnard College, Columbia University (Sociology; 2018) and an MPhil from the University of Cambridge (Sociology; 2019). I am currently training in adult psychotherapy, with NHS clinical placements at Tavistock and Portman’s Trauma Service and East London’s Specialist Psychotherapy Service.
