Areas of interest
My expertise spans occupational psychology and psychology education. Within occupational psychology, I have a particular interest in workplace learning, training, and development, including the dissemination of evidence-based training, the transfer of learning to workplace practice, and barriers to effective learning. I am also interested in motivation and performance at work, particularly the influence of job design on employee engagement, wellbeing, and effectiveness.
Within psychology education, my interests focus on psychological literacy and graduate employability. I am interested in how psychology curricula can support students in applying psychological knowledge beyond the classroom and in developing the skills, attributes, and reflective capabilities needed for successful graduate careers.
