I work for Hartpury University as a Lecturer in the Animal and Agriculture Department, HE Process Advisor, and Academic Misconduct Advisor.  I also do sessional work for University of Gloucestershire as a part-time lecturer in Marketing and Business. My previous experience include subject specialist lectuerer for INTO Gloucestershire and lectuerer in marketing and busines and Research Fellow with the Royal Agricultural University.

I am a member of the

• International Society for Anthrozoology,
• Association for Consumer Research,
• The British Academy Early Career Research Network
• The British Horse Society, and
• am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

I specialise in bringing princples of consumer behaviour (i.e. motiviation, identity, and decision making) to understanding human animal interactions. Consequently, I module lead Animals in Society and contribute to various modules on aspects of wellbeing, human behaviour, and behaviour change.

My research interests center on consumer motivation with focus on animal ownership, and human-animal interactions. I am a passionate advocate for animal people (especially horse people), positive human behaviour change practices and research, and am open for collaboration in areas such as animal ownership, communication, decision making in human behaviour change, and human motivation.
