What is your research focus?
My research is focused on investigating how people perceive and balance different trade-offs in sustainability values, with a focus on situations involving decisions around animal care and welfare. With this work I hope to help move towards more successful development and implementation of solutions to contentious animal care practices and sustainability problems that address animal welfare concerns within the broader sustainability context.
What inspired you to pursue this field of study?
I am inspired to pursue this research by the animals that we share this world with and to whom we owe a duty of care to across a broad range of human-animal interactions.
What is your favourite food?
Strawberries are my favorite food.
