Main

I obtained a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) degree from Macquarie University in 2019. For my honours project, I conducted a rodent model of methamphetamine self-administration following a period of adolescent isolation.

I have been working at NDARC as a research assistant since 2020 and commenced my PhD in 2022. The focus of my PhD will be to explore the impact of methamphetamine use on the family of people who use it.
