Welcome

I am a Behavioural Scientist working across industry and academia. As Director of Behavioural Insights for Magpie (creative behaviour change agency) I support third-sector and public-sector organisations to translate research in to evidence-based campaigns, initiatives, and policies. My expertise lies in leveraging behavioural science methods, approaches, and and insights to help address pressing societal issues, including health and wellbeing, climate change, and equality and diversity. I specialise in collaborative, applied, and implementation-focused research that drives meaningful impact.
