About Me
I completed my PhD in Psychology (Culture & Human Development) at the University of Saskatchewan in 2014. As a cultural psychologist and qualitative researcher, my broad area of interest is on the interstices between cultural processes and subjective experience, particularly regarding how our well-being is influenced by our sociocultural environments. My research approach is interdisciplinary, often including research from anthropology (psychological & medical), psychology, Indigenous studies, sociology, gender studies, & geography.
I am currently not accepting new graduate students.
