About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Public Health Program in the Faculty of Health Sciences. I also hold an Alberta Innovates Health Solutions (AIHS) Research Chair in Rural Health and Well-being.
My research program looks at care for older adults in rural Alberta, with a focus on long-term care contexts. I completed my doctorate and post-doctoral fellowship at York University in the Health Policy & Equity program. By training, I am a political economist and a qualitative health services researcher.
