I grew up in Singapore and moved to Noongar Country (Perth, Western Australia) in 2012 to pursue Honours and PhD degrees in Psychology at the University of Western Australia (UWA). My PhD and early postdoctoral research explored the biological mechanisms underlying the development of autism, using advanced quantitative methods.

Since relocating to Dharug Country to join Macquarie University in 2021, I have developed an independent research programme focused on understanding Autistic people's experiences with stigma, discrimination, and belonging across diverse settings, including universities. My current work incorporates quantitative, qualitative, and participatory approaches. I am committed to improving research practices by fostering collaboration with Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people, ensuring they are active decision-makers throughout the research process.

My broader research interests include social camouflaging and the auditory experiences of neurodivergent individuals.
