Maria recently completed her PhD at the Youth Mental Health Lab in the School of Psychology at University College Dublin. Her research focused on using digital technologies to support youth mental health, particularly through examining the protective effects of digital communication and exploring chat-based therapeutic support for young people aged 12-25 using implementation science and participatory methods. More broadly, Maria's research interests include youth development, digital participation, risk and resilience, implementation science, and theory-based programme evaluations.
