Biography

Finding creative, effective ways to reduce inequity and improve wellbeing makes me tick. I was fortunate to explore this passion through the lens of research as an undergraduate psychology student, research assistant, and research coordinator at the University of British Columbia. From investigating the effects of gender stereotyping and stereotype threat on perceived leadership aptitude, to designing a knowledge translation study to improve the health of men who have sex with men, to conducting community-based research to identify innovative methods of end-of-life care, I developed a fascination for the profound impact research could have on individuals, communities, and systems. During my MPhil in Social and Developmental Psychology at Cambridge, I examined the differential relationships between domains of gender typicality and psychosocial wellbeing. The aim of my PhD project is to design, deliver, and evaluate psychological interventions to improve gender diversity, equity, and inclusion.
