Master’s degree in Psychology and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience

I work as a brain scientist in a research laboratory focused on developmental psychology, where my work centres on early language and cognitive development in infancy and early childhood. See my publications here

As a neuroscientist, I am fascinated by how the brain functions in constant interaction with its environment. I view brain health as a cornerstone of overall well-being, forming the foundation for mental and emotional health across the lifespan. From this perspective, mind and body are inseparable, continuously influencing one another in dynamic and meaningful ways.
