Education
I received my BA Hons. in Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan in 2021. I had the pleasure of learning about surveillance studies in the context of police services. I worked closely with qualitative data, learning about police surveillance policy and practice.
I focused on the gendered division of household labor in rural and urban Canada during my MA in Sociology, conducting advanced data analysis on 2015 Canadian General Social Survey data.
I began my PhD in Sociology at the University of Toronto and completed a PhD level qualitative methods course. I began preparations for a research project on how Arts and Humanities graduates plan for their careers in the context of the neo-liberal job market... this was for sure telling of where my heart wanted me to go... and I followed it!
CAnD3’s primary goal is to collaboratively develop, implement, and deliver an innovative training program – Population Analytics in an Aging Society – to equip the next generation of academic and applied population researchers with the knowledge, skills, and networks to support data-driven decision-making in aging societies

That's a bit about what I've done, but who am I?
I guess this part is still a work in progress, but isn't it always?
I am a cat lover, but have yet to adopt my own because I equally love all of my plants that aren't kitty-safe!
I enjoy a nice coffee and a pastry. I have always appreciated the ambiance of a local coffee shop.
I enjoy exploring new neighbourhoods, shops, and events. I attend many music and art events. The vibrancy of this city makes me experience many moments of sonder.
