Her first positions (following her Undergraduate Psychology Degree and Postgraduate Statistics Diploma) from researcher at Queen Mary, University of London to Clinical Studies Officer at Imperial College London (and the National Institute for Health Research, NIHR) prompted interest in mental health research.

Since her first full time academic position as Lecturer (at the University of Northampton), Karishma has led and worked on numerous projects supporting mental health in NHS mental health care, higher education and decolonising of the curriculum (see CV). She has won awards from international societies for Young Researcher of the Year and Young Teacher of the Year plus small grants to conduct research improving mental health and wellbeing in higher education and clinical practice.
