I am an interdisciplinary social scientist researching farmer decision making and governance of agricultural systems, at the James Hutton Institute. My research focuses in particular on policy-relevant questions around environmental sustainability and animal health. I enjoy working collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.

I held a British Academy Postdoctoral fellowship from 2018-2021 entitled ‘Cows eat grass, don’t they?’ exploring the role of grass and grazing in dairy systems in the UK and Ireland.

You can see a list of my research publications here.

I am open to supervising and examining postdoctoral students.
