I am a clinical psychologist working in the addiction field. Currently, I am employed as a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Early Career Fellow at the Centre for Youth Substance Abuse Research, University of Queensland. My research focuses primarily on cognitive and neuropsychological mechanisms underlying adolescent substance abuse, particularly those related to impulse control, decision-making, and personality. I also maintain my clinical practice as a Visiting Clinical Psychologist at the Alcohol and Drug Assessment Unit, Princess Alexandra Hospital.
