My main research area is mental health across the lifespan. Other areas I am interested in include Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights and Women Empowerment. Most of my research is guided by Applied Psychology, specifically Community and Health Psychology principles.
Currently I am researching on understanding the mental health needs of international students in UK universities, specifically those from African countries. The overall goal being of developing a culturally adaptive mental health intervention for African international students in UK universities. I am open for collaborations with other researchers sharing the same interests.
