I am a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Doctoral Fellow and clinical trial co-ordinator within the Oxford Cognitive Approaches to Psychosis (O-CAP) group. My doctoral project is focused on improving recruitment rates and participant diversity in clinical trials testing treatments for psychosis. Prior to joining O-CAP, I was a research assistant on a randomized controlled trial of mindfulness in UK schools, an administrator for the Oxford Psychological Medicine Research group, and an assistant commissioning editor at Oxford University Press. I have an MA in English, an MSc in Psychology, and an MClin Res in Clinical Research. |
