I am a post doctoral research fellow at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security at the University of Wollongong. In this role I have been working on interdisciplinary projects looking at the social dimensions of the Blue Economy. This work has involved looking at how social equity has been considered in ocean and coastal activities and how equity can be embedded into ocean governance.

I am currently working on projects that explore the social dimensions of emerging offshore industries such as offshore wind and seaweed farming. I am researching social processes of coastal transformation in the face of energy transition.
