Registered Psychologist and Founder
Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a child psychologist with a life-long passion for helping young people thrive.
Ever since the ‘like button’ was launched back in 2009, I have thrown myself head-first into monitoring how rapidly social media and technology engineering is evolving, and disrupting the impacts of this. Education and awareness are key to this disruption, which led me to launch the Like Me Project.
A bit about my journey: I hold a First Class Honours degree and a Masters degree in psychology, I have conducted, presented, and published peer-reviewed research on social media use, and taught cyberpsychology at a university level. Most importantly, I have had the privilege of working with young people for over a decade in a variety of settings, gaining experience working as a School Psychologist, as well as roles within private practices and not-for profit organisations.
I aim to integrate all my knowledge and experience into engaging, relatable discussions with young people, and to equip them with the right knowledge and tools to help them make informed, conscious, safe decisions on how they want to interact with technology.
