I am currently an Associate Professor who holds a high-impact position in child and youth mental health in the School and Applied Child Psychology programme. I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Counselling Psychology programme at The University of British Columbia from 2009 to 2013, and an Assistant / Associate Professor in Educational Studies in Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary from 2014 to 2019. I completed my graduate studies in Counselling Psychology at McGill University and did a Pre-Doctoral Internship in Professional Psychology at the University of California, Irvine Counselling Center.
My scholarly interests are informed by my own bi-cultural identity. As such, my program of study is informed by an overarching social justice lens. My research presently includes two major foci. First, research pertaining to immigration experiences across different communities (i.e., newcomer youth, women, and 2SLGBTQ+ newcomers). Second, I am carrying out research in the area of teaching and learning, investigating cultural and social justice responsiveness in psychology training. I am committed to the implications of this research for psychology practice, training, research, and policy.
