Who am I?

Academic history: I graduated with First Class Honours from a BA in Performance Sound at thee Rose Bruford drama school. I proceeded to complete an MA in Cultural and Creative Industries at King's College London and an MSc in Social and Cultural Psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I graduated with Distinction from both masters courses, winning the Best Overall Student on Taught Modules award at KCL, and the Hilde Himmelweit award at LSE. I am now completing a PhD in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at LSE under a scholarship. 

​

Professional history: I have previously worked as a sales executive for the magazine Music Week and as a psychometrician for the company Central Test. I have also worked as a Research Assistant in several capacities (e.g. psychometrics, Natural Language Processing (NLP), data manipulation, manual coding of data, literature reviews, etc.). Currently, I am the teaching assistant for the MSc in Social and Cultural Psychology at LSE, as well as three optional modules (PB428: Political Psychology, PB458: Dialogue, and PB432: Social Representations). I also work as a consultant, specialising in the application of NLP for measuring organisational culture. 

​

Bio: I grew up in France and Switzerland (near Geneva) with English parents. I moved to London to pursue my studies and am still here today. I have a passion for music, and currently enjoy writing electronic music in my spare time (as well as playing the guitar, piano, and any other instrument I can get my hands on!). When I'm not working on my PhD thesis, you will find me writing music, playing video-games, tweeting about politics, socialising, and, more often than I should be, eating good food. I care deeply about equality, peace, democracy, and the environment. I believe that, through intercultural dialogue, we can generate solutions to the world's problems and shape the future of our civilisation.

​

Current research interests: My thesis is currently titled "Assessing the Quality of Online Dialogue". Humans are interacting freely through text-based online communities (e.g. Twitter, Reddit, etc.). These sites enable discussions whose participation is optional and whose content is freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Their quality is of importance to society as, according to the literature, it is through constructive dialogues that we solve problems and repair relationships, both at an individual and societal level. My PhD looks to define and measure quality in online dialogues, providing insights into how and when dialogues are good and bad for society.
