I am the Co-Director of the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute and Lecturer in Climate Risk and Resilience. I have worked as an applied researcher, project manager and practitioner in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) within the UK and internationally.
I used to work for NIWA in New Zealand in hazard and risk research, and prior to that I worked for CAFOD as a DRR advisor. I like to work collaboratively and welcome the opportunity to share knowledge with others.
My broad research interests cover a range of DRR and CCA topics including risk assessment methods and tools for decision makers; disasters and culture; indigenous knowledge; social vulnerability and capacity; Resilience frameworks/measurement; science communication and knowledge exchange.

I am the Deputy Programme Director for the MSc in Carbon Management. This is an amazing course that covers climate change science, impacts, adaptation as well as mitigation and climate change economics. I teach climate change impacts and adaptation in the first semester. We have a range of interactive lectures and guest speakers.
