MSc
Senior Trial Manager / Project Manager
I am a trial manager with expertise in running trials of psychological interventions for children and young people, with a particular interest in embedding them within naturalistic settings to maximise the relevance of any findings.
Working in the TOPIC group, I aim to contribute to improving access to treatment for children and young people with anxiety, by managing large treatment trials, to date all testing variations of an online therapist supported treatment for child anxiety problems.
I am currently the Project Manager for a Wellcome Funded Project (GLOW-CAT) where we are working with five partner countries globally to translate and adapt OSI to see if it has potential to be effectively scaled and be sustainable in low and middle income settings.
I am also a Senior Trial Manager for the STAR-CAT trial where we are evaluating the clinical and cost effectiveness of an online intervention for children with autism in the UK.
I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology (BSc, Open University) and Mathematics (BSc, Imperial College) and a Masters in Research Methods (MSc, University of Reading).
