I am a socio-cognitive and behavioural science researcher with an interest in the psychology of communication, particularly how people process social and linguistic information when making decisions. My research background is in experimental psychology.

My current research focuses on understanding the roots of misinformed beliefs and the importance of empathy and building trust when communicating about facts and evidence. I have developed interventions to help with conversations addressing misconceptions and misinformations about different health and socio-political topics, for example vaccination. I also study how healty equity initiatives that are community-led and use creative, participatory methods can build and leverage trust.
