Biography

I am a clinical psychologist with a passion for research, teaching and communication.

After graduating with a BSc in Psychology and a MSc in Clinical Psychology at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Padova (Italy), I moved to the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham UK, where I completed my PhD in Applied Psychology with a thesis titled "An investigation of autonomic arousal and attentional mechanisms in children with ADHD and Autism" (supervised by Dr Maddie Groom and Prof Chris Hollis).

As a psychologist, I worked in private and public health services and was involved in diagnostic assessment and planning of interventions for children with psychological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, autism, anxiety and depression.

Before working for the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham Malaysia, I worked as a Teaching Associate/Fellow at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham UK and at King's College London.
