I am a researcher whose work broadly focuses on communication and public engagement with climate change. As part of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST), I am undertaking PhD research focusing on understanding university research culture and practices in the context of the climate emergency. As part of this, I have published research analysing UK universities' climate emergency declarations (see publications tab) and am conducting a UK-wide climate change survey of academics. I am also part of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.

In addition to my PhD, I am working on a CAST-funded project to create a resource for the live music industry: 'Positively influencing the travel choices of live music audiences'. I have also recently published a report: Can cultural events catalyse engagement with climate change? A Season for Change case study.

During my PhD, I worked as a Research Assistant at Climate Outreach where my work included contributing to Nature visuals: diversity in images of England’s green and natural spaces and Britain Talks COP26: New insights on what the UK public want from the UN climate summit. Prior to climate change research, I worked in the creative industry as a photographer and retoucher, then in communications.
