I am a Senior Research Fellow in behavioural science for the Centre for Behaviour Change, based at UCL.

I am interested in individual and group human behaviour, and how changing behaviour can impact on health, wellbeing and global issues such as climate change and inequality.

Currently, I am working on several projects related to the Human Behaviour Change Project and am part of an interdisciplinary working group linking ongoing behaviour changes related to Covid-19 to impact on climate change. Recently, I have also contributed to developing tools for the WHO to interpret and apply insights from behavioural science data to improve responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I completed my PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in 2015, which focussed on the experience of self-stigma, whilst working on the evaluation of the Time to Change programme which aimed to end discriminatory behaviour towards people experiencing mental distress. 

I am also a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, completing my Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of East London in 2019.
