Previous roles

02 September 2024 - 28 February 2025
I worked as a research assistant at the University of Oxford within The Oxford Psychological Interventions for Children and adolescents (TOPIC) research group. As part of my role, I worked on the iCATS-i2i project, namely identifying Child Anxiety Through Schools - identification to intervention. On this project, I supported the development and evaluation of a new method to identify and support children with anxiety problems through primary schools. To do so, I liaised directly with children, parents and school staff to collect Phase 2 data in primary schools across England to test the efficacy of this novel intervention.
