My research focus is on improving mental health, sleep, and well-being across at risk populations. I have a particular interest in behaviour change and identifying protective factors to enable better physical and mental health outcomes. Much of my research has focused on resilience and sleep, including the development of a family based resilience-building intervention, and behavioural sleep interventions. Recently, I have focused on cultural factors that affect the delivery of successful support and interventions. 

I have experience in the design and use of mobile technology and telehealth to aid delivery of therapies and support.  In addition, I have expertise in moderation analysis and other statistical models to explore risk and protective factors. I have published using research methodologies including cross-sectional surveys, longitudinal data, qualitative analysis and systematic reviews.  Additionally, I have contributed as an author to National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines. I enjoy a collaborative approach to projects and research, and I have developed academic, industry and third sector collaborations both nationally and internationally.
