I am a Scientia Associate Professor of Educational Psychology in the UNSW School of Education. I conduct research in the areas of motivation, wellbeing, and social-emotional development using quantitative research methods. My research also encompasses related factors such as adaptability, engagement, interpersonal relationships, and achievement. I examine predictors and outcomes of these different factors among children, youth, and adults in educational settings. Broadly speaking, my research aims to identify how to best support and promote social, emotional, and academic/occupational thriving among students and teachers. 

I have been awarded over $1M in national and international grants, and government and non-government research tenders. My publications include 100+ peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters, 1 co-edited book, along with over 25 publications for professional audiences. My research features regularly in print and online media articles and podcasts, and I have delivered invited/keynote presentations to academic, community, and educational organisations. 

My work has been recognised with several honours including an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship (2020-2023), the Richard E. Snow Award for Early Career Research Contributions from the American Psychological Association Division 15 (2021), and the Outstanding Early Career Scholar Award from the American Educational Research Association Division C (2020). Prior to that, I was awarded the Young Scientist Award from the International Society for the Study of Behavioral Development (2018), and Outstanding Reviewer for the American Educational Research Journal (2016).

I am an Associate Editor of the Journal of Educational Psychology, Consulting Editor of Educational Psychology, and an Editorial Board Member for Learning and Instruction, Contemporary Educational Psychology, Teaching and Teacher Education, Social Psychology of Education, Educational and Developmental Psychologist, and Theory into Practice. I have held Visiting Research Fellowships at the University of Oxford, Université Laval, and the University of British Columbia.

I completed my doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and previously worked as a primary school teacher in Melbourne.
