I am Senior Lecturer of Educational Psychology and Quantitative Research at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. Broadly, my expertise lies in learning, motivation, and stress management from late childhood to early adulthood. I am particularly interested in: (a) identifying diverse settings in which young people experience stress and anxiety; (b) evaluating how these experiences shape the attitudes, emotions, self-perceptions, and well-being of young people; and (c) designing evidence-based programmes that can help young people cope effectively with stress and anxiety.
