Exploring questions before searching for answers.
Research is where I continue to deepen my understanding of what it means to be human.
I explore questions around self-understanding, human functioning, wellbeing and sustainable performance, bringing together scientific evidence, lived experience and practical application.

Why i research
At the heart of my research is one increasingly important question:
How might we become better at recognising and understanding the factors affecting how we feel and function and what difference might that understanding make?
That question continues to shape both my doctoral research and the wider body of work I am developing.
For me, research isn't simply about finding answers.
It's about asking better questions.
Questions I’m exploring
My research explores a number of interconnected questions about how we feel, function, work and relate to one another.
Stress & Recovery
Exploring how stress and recovery may affect the resources we have available to function.
Sleep & Restoration
Exploring the role of restorative sleep in cognitive, emotional and physical functioning.
Relationships & Connection
Exploring the relationship between connection, communication, belonging, wellbeing and performance.
Self-Awareness & Human Functioning
Exploring the relationship between self-awareness, self-regulation and how we think, feel and act.
Sustainable Performance
Exploring what may support sustainable performance for individuals and teams.
Doctoral Research
My doctoral research is exploring questions around self-understanding, human functioning and sustainable performance.
I'm particularly interested in how people come to recognise and understand the factors shaping their everyday functioning, how that understanding might influence the way they respond, and what this could mean for wellbeing and performance.
As the research develops, these questions will continue to be shaped and challenged by the evidence.
I'll continue sharing reflections and questions as the research develops.
