Wilson is researching the role fathers could play in encouraging healthy mental development in adolescent boys.
Annie Wilson had a flourishing career in finance before she decided to pivot to psychology. Following the 2008 financial crisis, which marked a “significant turning point” in her life, Wilson returned to academia for her third degree – a bachelor’s in psychology. She previously held a bachelor’s degree in economics and master’s in business studies.
Wilson has committed fully to a career in psychology in recent years, and is currently working on her doctoral research into adolescent boys’ mental development with backing from the Craig Dobbin Doctoral Scholarship in Mental Health supported by the University College Dublin (UCD) Foundation.
