Overview

I am a PhD student working within the LINC consortium with an interest in risk factors across the lifespan and health outcomes. Specifically, I am studying the effects of adverse childhood experiences and neurodivergent conditions on multimorbidity between cardiometabolic and internalising conditions (ICM-MM).

Internalising conditions are highly prevalent in the population and cardiometabolic events are the leading cause of death worldwide. ICM-MM highlights an important area for intervention to reduce the burden of mental and physical health diseases globally.
