CV
I am a dedicated and innovative PhD candidate with a passion for investigating the influence of social identity on pro-social and pro-environmental behaviours in the realm of sustainable food systems, and learning how this knowledge could translate into educational practice. I am committed to advancing knowledge in these areas and on completion of my PhD I am looking forward to a rewarding career in academia.
