I am a Professor at Curtin University and Co-Lead of the Mental Health Research Domain within the Curtin enAble Institute. My interests span the domains of health, developmental, and clinical psychology, with the overarching aim of understanding how both individual difference and social/community variables are related to psychological, social, and educational outcomes across the life-span. I am particularly interested in individual differences in cognitive and self-regulatory processes (such as appraisal, coping, and emotion regulation) and their potential links with emotional vulnerability. 

I am an Academic Editor at Child and Adolescent Mental Health and PeerJ, and an Editorial Board Member at Dyslexia and Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies.
