I received a PhD in Human Geography from The University of Queensland (2020). My doctoral research illuminated the influence of emergency food aid on the root causes of disaster vulnerability in Indigenous food systems. Between 2021 and 2023 I held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS), where I worked on a large project exploring the social, environmental, and political dimensions of climate change loss and damage. I am currently a Vice Chancellor's Fellow (Assistant Professor) at Northumbria University, Department of Social Sciences. During my VCF I will be researching environmental and climate politics in the UK and beyond.

My research interests cover the broad domain of human-environmental relations. I explore human-environmental relations through the examination of social, cultural, and political impacts of, and responses to, disasters, climate change, and environmental change. I am currently working on research projects exploring climate change loss and damage and environmental politics. I have undertaken ethnographic research in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Vanuatu and have recently undertaken fieldwork in East Anglia, United Kingdom.
