Teaching
I am the class leader for the 4th year Psychology of Physical Activity Class. I contribute to the MSc in Clinical Health Psychology (Health Psychology Related to Medical Conditions Class). I also teach on the Introduction to Research Design and Analysis Class. I am available to supervise student research projects.
Research Interests
My research has a broad interdisciplinary social science focus, bringing together behavioural and psychological theory with broader social and public health perspectives. I am predominantly interested in developing and evaluating health behaviour change interventions, utilising novel settings and approaches to reach underserved populations. My current work focuses mainly on the promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviours (e.g. physical activity and diet) and improving mental health and wellbeing (e.g. reducing HIV-related stigma and gambling-related harms). I am interested in how nature-based initiatives and digital technologies influence health and wellbeing.
