Romany McGuffog completed her Doctor of Philosophy in social psychology at the University of Newcastle in 2020 under the supervision of Associate Professors Mark Rubin and Stefania Paolini, and Dr. Kylie McIntyre. Her PhD research examined the mediating effects of sleep on the relationship between social class and health, involving studies of university students in Australia and a comparison group of Irish university students. It emphasized the importance of improving sleep to reduce the negative impacts of lower social class on mental and physical health, advocating for targeted interventions. From 2019 to 2021, she worked with Everymind, a mental health and suicide prevention organization, contributing to projects focused on the mental health and wellbeing of small business owners and evaluating postvention initiatives in New South Wales secondary schools. From 2021 to 2023, she served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Associate Professor Michelle Kennedy on the Murru Minya project at the University of Newcastle, which explored research concerning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Currently, Romany is a Postdoctoral Fellow working with Professor Elizabeth Rieger, focusing on interpersonal factors related to eating disorders as part of a national research network.
