I hold a PhD in Conservation Psychology and research and teach at The University of South Australia. My research work is predominately within the area of human dimensions of shark conservation research, where I focus on fear of sharks and what influences this. More broadly, I conduct research into connection to nature, student wellbeing and outcomes, behavioural science in a sustainability context, individual sustainable behaviours, and broader media impacts. Having worked in industry roles in market research and behavioural science, I bring a deep understanding of human behaviour to all my research projects.
