I am an Assistant Professor in Applied Psychology at the University of Nottingham, where I study how people perceive, emotionally respond to, and act on environmental change.

My research explores questions like:
 

• How do people interpret experiences of environmental risk?

• What role do emotions play in environmental engagement?

• How does climate change affect mental health and wellbeing?

• What shapes public understanding of climate justice issues?

• What motivates people to take pro-environmental action?

​

My work often spans international contexts. I use cross-national and comparative approaches to understand how people in different social groups experience and respond to environmental change.

Before joining Nottingham, I completed my PhD at the University of St Andrews and held academic positions at the University of Bergen (Norway) and De Montfort University (UK). I also serve as an Associate Editor for Global Environmental Psychology, and Personality and Individual Differences, and a Section Editor for Plos Mental Health.
