Hi, I’m Desiree

Having been a postdoc in the neurosciences and as a clinical psychologist, I have worked at both ends of the spectrum from (lab) bench to bedside. These days, I specialise in academic mental health and well-being - helping academic institutions, research groups, and individuals in the pursuit of a healthier way to do research.
