BIO
Claudia is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Deakin’s School of Psychology. She recently completed her PhD which focussed on understanding engagement with digital mental health interventions. Claudia’s broader research interest also includes developing and testing evidence-based digital interventions for body image and eating disorder concerns.
Despite her early career stage, Claudia has established a strong research track record, publishing in leading journals and co-ordinating complex digital health and hybrid effectiveness/implementation trials. She also serves on the editorial board for Body Image and The International Journal of Eating Disorders.
Currently, Claudia is the project manager of a large MRFF-funded project led by Dr Hannah Jarman evaluating the effectiveness of Butterfly Foundation’s Body Bright program in Victorian primary schools. She also co-manages the social media account @The.Wellbeing.Doctors with Hannah, which aim to make psychology research more accessible to people.
