About me

  • My work is grounded in a commitment to improving mental health for women and individuals with disabilities—particularly those who face persistent health inequities and whose needs are often overlooked in both research and healthcare.

     

    As a postdoctoral researcher in the Women's Mental Health Epidemiology group at IMM, with a background in psychiatric epidemiology, I focus on understanding and addressing the factors that contribute to sex disparities in mental health.

Research

  • I completed my PhD at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, where I investigated sex differences in mental health among autistic young adults. My research draws on large register-based studies to explore women’s mental health, with a particular focus on reproductive health in women with neurodevelopmental conditions—especially autism and ADHD. Through this work, I aim to better characterize reproductive health in this population and identify underlying causes and consequences, with the ultimate goal of improving care and reducing health inequalities.

     

    I try to share insights from my research through blog posts, podcasts, and other media that are accessible for the broader public. Explore some of the highlights below to learn more about my work:
