FORRT Stewards

I am a PhD student at King’s College London researching ADHD and women’s health, with a particular focus on the menopausal transition. I have a strong interest in open and transparent research practices, and I am passionate about improving accessibility and equity throughout the research process. Before beginning my PhD, I worked as a Research Fellow in Open Science, where I focused on identifying accessible feedback opportunities across the research cycle.

+I have been actively involved in several FORRT initiatives, including contributions to the Replication Database and Team Curriculum through creating lecture materials, both of which deepened my commitment to collaborative, community-led scholarship. I am excited to join the FORRT Steering Board as a Steward and look forward to contributing to FORRT’s mission to advance open, responsible, and inclusive research practices across disciplines.
