BIOGRAPHY

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate working under the supervision of Dr. Carla Rice (Canada Research Chair in Care, Gender, and Relationships) in the Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition at the University of Guelph, Canada. I am also a research associate at Re•Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice at the University of Guelph, Canada and the Interim Research Manager for the Women and HIV Research Program at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, Canada. In my various roles, I focus on feminist research approaches to advance social inclusion and equitable healthcare, particularly as it relates to sexual and reproductive health and rights.

 

Research Passions:

  • Sexual and reproductive health and rights
  • Sexual and relationship satisfaction
  • Critical feminist theories
  • Bridging the gap between research and practice
