Camilla is currently a Research Associate at the University of Birmingham, working on the Children and Adolescents Data Resource (CADRE) project under the supervision of Dr Siân Lowri Griffiths. She graduated with a BSc in Psychology and following this graduated with an MSc in Mental Health, both at the University of Birmingham. She has previously worked at the University as a Research Associate on several different projects, within the Institute for Mental Health (IMH) and School of Psychology. These had a particular focus on postpartum mental health, specifically postpartum psychosis, and sleep, as well as sleep in new parents.

Camilla is interested in both youth mental health and postpartum mental health, which developed following her MSc dissertation that investigated maternal postnatal depression and anxiety and risk for mental health disorders in adolescent offspring. This encouraged her to volunteer at The Barberry’s Mother and Baby Unit for several months, where she got to interact with mothers experiencing postpartum mental health disorders. She is also very passionate about improving mental health in young people, either through research, interventions or digital tools.
