Biography

I am a Research Assistant at the Centre for Preventive? Neurology within the Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Queen Mary University of London. My research focuses on the health, social, and psychological impacts of recreational nitrous oxide (laughing gas) use among young people. I have a strong interest in mental health, substance dependence, and the neurological harms associated with emerging drug trends. Through mixed-methods research, I aim to deepen understanding of these issues and support awareness and intervention efforts. I hold an MSc in Health Psychology from University College London and a BSc in Psychology from the University of Kent?
