Interventions to encourage healthier, plant-based choices in food service.

I conducted applied social norm interventions in food service establishments in New Zealand and the UK. I compared pre- and post- intervention food purchases and conducted surveys with customer subgroups to assess demographics and dietary habits.

Intervention to reduce household wood burning behaviours to mitigate localised air pollution.

I helped to optimise a Burner Alert system to encourage reduced household wood burning during times of poor local air quality. I also designed a survey to test efficacy, motivations, barriers, and perceptions, assisted in data interpretation, and reported findings in the context of behavioural responsive regulation.

Speaker at Parks Victoria workshop.

I was invited to speak on challenges related to behaviour change for conservation, such as path adherence and littering. I delivered an accessible overview of behavioural science principles and evidence-based techniques shown to shift conservation and sustainability behaviours, followed by practical recommendations for designing effective public-facing interventions.

Protein diversification webinar development.

With the Good Food Institute and the World Benchmarking Alliance, I developed a presentation for a protein diversification webinar delivered to senior Nestlé stakeholders, corporate leaders, and experts. I synthesised benchmark results, identified best-practice examples, and evaluated Nestlé’s current performance against peers and sector leaders.

Author of UN SDG Encyclopedia reference entry on Food Ethics.

I was selected through an international open academic call to contribute to the Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals reference work on food ethics. I conducted targeted research into ethical principles and frameworks, synthesising complex theories whilst ensuring integrity and accuracy. In writing, I used clear, accessible language for a broad, non-specialist audience, aligning with the publication’s purpose.

Social science research and evidence review.

Across several projects, I have employed social science methods (e.g. surveys, social media scraping, online RCTs) to investigate intergroup perceptions, sentiment, personality impressions, and more. I have also conducted evidence review and scoping research on a range of topics including wood burning behaviour, noise pollution mitigation strategies, workplace waste minimisation strategies, deforestation, ecosystem protection, and more.
