Expertise

My research interest focuses on identifying effective elements and influencing factors of persuasive communication to create behavior change (including adaptive, adoptive, and resilient behaviors) among a target audience, primarily in the contexts of natural resources, conservation, and outdoor recreation. I am interested in how science communication can be best utilized to influence audience decisions and actions.
