Behaviour, research and storytelling
I studied Neuroscience at the University of Sydney, where I learnt everything from cranial anatomy to dopamine triggers in mice to human behaviour.
When combined with my love for culture, I can bridge this understanding of human behaviour, research and complex data with zeitgeist insights and trend forecasting. This is how we create strategies that drives attention and action.
My final-year thesis at the University of Sydney studied ADHD medication use and abuse amongst Australian young adults from 2010 to 2020. The research was updated with three additional years of data from 2021 to 2023, and accepted for publication in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry in early 2026.
