Sophie is a Senior Research Assistant at the University of Central Lancashire and a Project Lead at Cultivate SA. Using validated, real-time technology and method triangulation, she seeks to improve food safety culture and assess the impact of food safety culture interventions in food manufacturing companies through a weekly change cycle. During her Ph.D. research at Purdue University, she investigated the relationships among food safety behaviors, climate, management styles, infrastructure designs, and sanitation practices in the context of Listeria control at retail.

When Sophie is not improving food safety culture, she writes poems and fairy tales, plays the piano, and hugs trees. She is a nominee for the Pushcart Poetry Prize.
