Glad to say that I passed a long and challenging viva last week ๐ฎโ๐จ which would not have been possible without a fantastic research team, and without the help of expert audiologists that were โall hands on deckโ when I needed them the most.

This achievement is as much theirs as it is mine ๐๐ป
Last Christmas, I was invited to give a talk about my experiments at the University of Cambridge, where I presented details of my studies for the first time ever, after 3 years of work!
It was the most ideal place for such a reveal & Iโm so glad I did it ๐๏ธ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ง

Feeling so proud to share that I was highly commended by @OfficialUoM@FBMH_UoM@FBMH_DocAcad for the excellence award: โBest Contribution to Society - Local Communityโ. Grateful to my participants and my entire research team ๐
After years of honing my skill and endless hours of training and supervision, very proud to have obtained the CBT Certified Clinician title from none other than the @BeckInstitute ๐
In the midst of the most exciting teaching roles on the psychology course at @OfficialUoM, I managed to demonstrate my commitment to teaching & learning thru @AdvanceHE Fellowship Scheme. Now an FHEA, I create educational and training material & review fellowship applications!
Self-esteem is a tricky thing. Healthy & justified #selfesteem correlates with positive outcomes, but artificially inflating #self-image bypasses the work that would typically be done to establish a relational value. Healthy balance โ๏ธ?
@MarcTibber3 I believe we lose some of the ability to have genuine spontaneous connections with people in our personal lives. I can never turn off the way I see and interpret behaviours and emotions even if Iโm not with a client.

On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, I want to acknowledge the fact that many people around the world do not have the privilege to recognise that #MentalHealthMatters because, in reference to Maslowโs Pyramid of Needs, they are stuck at the securing safety level #LetsBeReal
It seems that this person is a little traumatised by the experience. I felt that way towards some of my previous university and school graduations but I donโt feel that way towards the PhD. This particular opportunity to me was a godsend for many reasons so I canโt help but feel grateful everyday. I agree with others who said that it is more for your family than for you, and who said that it depends on when and why you did it, I am 35 yrs old, totally different from 24 yr olds who have been at it back to back for many years.
Excited to share that I've completed the โฆ@Cambridge_Uniโฉ course on HumanโComputer Interaction #HCI for #AI Systems Design by the brilliant โฆโฆ@pokristenssonโฉ gaining hands-on experience with AI-driven solutions
