Angela is a social scientist interested in the relationships between urban environments, transport and health. She is particularly interested in how public policies, particularly in transport, urban planning and housing, can address health inequalities and transport disadvantage.

Angela undertakes research exploring perceptions and experiences of accessibility and how these interact with the built environment to influence outcomes, such as travel behaviour, transport disadvantage, physical activity, health and wellbeing, for different population groups. Her research focuses particularly the experiences of older adults and lower income groups.

Angela uses both quantitative and qualitative social research methodologies and is particularly interested in novel methodological approaches, including those that utilise GIS.

She is a member of Living Streets Aotearoa, Public Health Association of New Zealand, Engineering NZ Transportation Group and the New Zealand Geographical Society. She is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society with Association of British Geographers and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK).
