Alongside her professional work, Frankie holds a Master’s degree in Psychology and has a strong interest in people, culture and the stories we tell about ourselves. Her work brings together research, writing and communications — with a particular love for making ideas interesting, accessible and genuinely engaging.
Frankie’s research explores the relationship between psychology and culture, with a particular focus on sexuality in Aotearoa New Zealand. Her Master’s research examined how young women develop and negotiate their sexual subjectivities — looking at desire, pleasure, gender, agency and the social messages that shape what we think sex and relationships are supposed to look like.
Her work brings together psychological research, lived experience and a love of writing, with a particular interest in women’s, queer and trans experiences of sexuality and wellbeing.
