About my work

Research Background

I am a researcher with 5+ years of experience conducting qualitative and quantitative research across academic, community, and digital contexts. Trained at McMaster University and the University of Victoria, I hold a master's in social psychology and specialize in in-depth interviews, data analysis, and uncovering the needs and pain points behind people's experiences.

My goal is to translate research into impactful, accessible outputs. Whether that means writing up findings, sharing presentations, coordinating a symposium, or designing digital tools, I want to find ways for research to reach and serve more people. I'm driven by a deep interest in human behaviour and a commitment to making knowledge and experiences more accessible for everyone.
