From 2011 to 2018, he worked as a science writer for the British Psychological Society, summarizing peer-reviewed research for a wider audience in publications like Occupational Digest and Research Digest. In 2018, he decided to explore Clinical Psychology, working as an assistant psychologist before being accepted into the program at the University of Glasgow, which he completed in 2022.
