01
PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS
My research in this area includes the delivery of accessible and inclusive preventative health strategies, digital health interventions, co-design methodologies, and consumer participation frameworks.
02
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & LEARNING DEVELOPMENT
This research primarily focuses on the delivery of complex learning materials through Online and in-person training, putting the learner and their experiences at the centre of all design/research choices. Exploration into both synchronous and asynchronous pedagogical means of delivery has also been a focus.
03
CLIMATE CHANGE VISUAL COMMUNICATION
My research in this space focuses on the digital communication of climate change information, primarily through short-form video content (like on TikTok), to better understand the current state of online climate change communication.
