Before completing my doctoral degree in psychology in Sweden (Lund University), I trained and worked as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner and Transformational Coach, and held a variety of research assistant posts (see the Research tab for more). During my PhD, I also became highly involved in PhD advocacy, leadership, and the topic of well-being in academic environments. As part of this, I have created a number of resources about wellbeing, careers and collaboration, which can be found on the Resources page. Over the last year, I have had the pleasure of getting to know a variety of other areas and institutions in Sweden through becoming involved in the national doctoral committee (SFS-DK), and leading a project on working more directly with doctoral student organisations around the country.

About me as a person: I am from England, but I was born in Hong Kong as my dad worked there for most of my life. I primarily grew up with my mother and three brothers in South-West England (although my dad did make the 12-hour journey to spend as many weekends as he could with us!). We spent most of our summers in East Asia, which formed my love for travelling and taking a global outlook. In 2020, I moved to southern Sweden to undertake my PhD and I lived in Skåne for five years (including Lund, Malmö & Helsingborg) while completing my PhD in Psychology at Lund University. I take a very international and intersectional approach, and I genuinely enjoy getting to understand people’s experiences.
