A Little About me.
I am a Ph.D. Candidate under the supervision of Dr. Charlene Senn, a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Violence against Women. My research primarily focuses on women's experiences of sexuality and sexual agency in a society that both rewards and penalizes women for taking control of their sexual experiences. Additionally, I am interested in exploring the impact of social inequities on individuals' experiences of sex, gender, and violence. I also always enjoy discussing or incorporating feminism into my research. Currently, I am working on my dissertation and will soon be seeking a 1000-hour internship as part of my program requirements.
Continuously seeking opportunities to expand and enhance my research abilities, I had the privilege of participating in a one-month intensive course on Human Sexuality at the Kinsey Institute. This invaluable experience deepened my understanding of the intricate aspects of human sexuality and broadened my expertise in the field. Collaborating and connecting with researchers from diverse disciplines allowed me to explore the intersections and interactions of concepts across fields.
I am excited to continue expanding my knowledge and skills to better understand and promote the well-being of individuals, specifically those who identify as women in relation to sexuality, gender, and violence.

On a Less Serious Note.
In my limited spare time as a student, I enjoy taking my dog to the park or playing with my cat. I also enjoy cooking and going to the gym.
