I am an environmental psychologist and a licensed educational psychologist, studying how people perceive, experience and respond to natural and changing environments. My research focuses on human-nature relationships, climate-related emotions, psychological well-being, restorative environments and pro-environmental behavior. In addition I have an experience in environmental education research. I can contribute expertise in field-based and mixed-method research, including ecological momentary assessment, experiments, surveys, qualitative methods and psychophysiological measures. I also have expertise in citizen science and environmental education, including the development and evaluation of participatory, community-based and educational interventions. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary projects examining how ecological change and biodiversity are experienced by individuals and communities, how these experiences affect well-being and behavior, and how citizen participation and environmental learning can contribute to effective responses to ecosystem change.

Environmental Psychology
I am interested in joining an interdisciplinary consortium examining the human dimensions of novel ecosystems, particularly projects addressing how people and communities perceive, experience and respond to ecological change. I am especially interested in Theme C, as well as the socio-cultural dimensions of Themes A and B.
I can contribute to the design and implementation of research on human–nature relationships, environmental emotions, psychological well-being, public engagement and pro-environmental behaviour. I can also lead or contribute to work involving community participation and the evaluation of educational or behavioural interventions. My methodological expertise includes surveys, field-based research, ecological momentary assessment, experiments, qualitative and mixed methods.
