Screens, Brains, and the Future of Thinking
I’m a board-registered Clinical Neuropsychologist Registrar and PhD candidate. I specialise in the intersection of digital technology use and brain health. My interdisciplinary research explores the impact of problematic behaviours such as social media overuse, online gaming, excessive internet browsing, and smartphone dependency on cognitive function and mental well-being. My work has been featured on ABC, Fox News, Cosmos, The Independent, and The Conversation.

MY EXPERIENCE
Clinical Neuropsychology Registrar
Dec 2024 - Present
I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for clients with acquired brain injuries, substance use, neurological conditions, developmental disorders (e.g., ADHD, ASD), and other disorders. I also develop and help implement individualised intervention plans, tailored to meet the specific needs of clients, aimed at enhancing cognitive rehabilitation and overall quality of life.
PhD Candidate
Aug 2020 - Present
I research the neuropsychological implications of disordered and problematic screen usage, with a specific focus on gaming behaviours. My research also aims to develop effective strategies for mitigating the negative effects of disordered screen use on the brain, including innovative approaches to prevention and intervention.
