About

As a dedicated and passionate education researcher, I aim for my research to have pragmatic impact in the classroom. Having worked alongside the Natural History Museum and Department of Education in England to develop a cohesive climate education curriculum framework, I have gained an appreciation for the value of rigorous research to inform policy frameworks and scaffold best practice.

My mixed-methods doctoral studies brought together two distinct fields (primary science education and global learning) and my small research and engagement projects as an early career researcher have continued to explore the areas of global citizenship education, social justice, sustainability and climate change education.
