My research and experience span various fields – psychology, economics, climate change, science integration, and science-to-policy pathways – all united by a central focus on interdisciplinary approaches to address complex societal challenges. 
 
Currently I am involved in research (1) investigating the impacts of climate change on the health and wellbeing of marginalised communities; (2) pedagogies and practice for embedding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in mental health educational programs for the mental health workforce; and (3) wellbeing and the performing arts. 
 
My doctoral research explored the intersections of social identity within leadership contexts, for which I was awarded a Dean’s Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence. I specialise in the social psychology of leadership, social justice, and wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on cross-cultural perspectives and community-engaged research that delivers practical, evidence-based outcomes. 
 
I also have interest and expertise in behavioural economics, combining principles of economics, psychology, and behavioural science to understand how and why people behave the way they do and to apply these behavioural and sociological insights to policy and design.
 
I am a reviewer for a wide range of Social Psychology journals, including the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, the Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology, and Children & Society.
