I have a background in Clinical and Developmental Psychology, and I am interested in understanding how well psychological treatments work and what potential risks or harms they may carry. To explore these questions, I use different evidence-synthesis methods to pool results from multiple studies and evaluate treatment effects and risks in a comprehensive way. My goal is to contribute to making mental health care more precise, transparent, and evidence-driven.

Alongside this, I am interested in using meta-research methods to better understand how clinical trials are designed, conducted, reported, and used in mental health research. I believe that we can build a more trustworthy evidence base by learning where research practices are strong and where they can improve.

As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Researcher in the SHARE-CTD (Sharing and Re-Using Clinical Trial Data) network, I am committed to open science and research integrity. I see transparency and accessible data as essential for producing cumulative and reproducible research, and I would like to be part of a research culture where openness and collaboration lead to impactful findings with less research waste. And yes, just to confirm, I am always happy to explore collaborations and interdisciplinary initiatives.
