Biography

I am interested in supporting the prevention of non-communicable diseases through health-behaviour change, particularly among populations at risk of poorer health outcomes. I adopt an ecological approach to my research, and am specifically interested in how the psychological processes that predict behaviour are impacted by environmental and social context.
