About

I completed my PhD in Perinatal Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King’s College London. Throughout it, I worked on a longitudinal study with women who were depressed during their pregnancies, and their children. Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher on a clinical trial investigating the efficacy of music therapy for postpartum depression.


My specific research interests are in the relationship between maternal psychopathology and the development of the mother-infant relationship, and what we can do to help it. I have always felt strongly about the destigmatization of maternal mental health difficulties, social justice for women, and racial equality for all mothers and their children. I hope through my writing for InSPIretheMind I can convey this passion.
