Tell us a little about yourself:

Tell us a fun fact about yourself:
I love rabbits, dancing salsa, and have 2 very naughty cats.
Why did you choose to work in dementia research?
The therapeutic ultrasound technology has some really good applications in the dementia field. My parents have always worried about getting dementia and I’ve always gotten inspiration in my work based on personal worries.
What single piece of advice would you give to an early career researcher?
Don’t give up! Always start applying for something else before you hear back from the last thing you submitted.
What book are you reading right now? Would you recommend it?
The lost bookshop. I really would. It’s rather magical.
