I joined the Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research as a Research Assistant in October 2011.

I received my Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Human Development from Laurentian University in 2011 and hold a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in Health Sciences from Brock University.

Prior to joining CRaNHR, I worked as Health Human Resource (HHR) Development Intern and Project Manager for the North East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN)'s Personal Support Occupations Working Group and as a Research Assistant at Laurentian University. I have studied the Canadian youth workforce, young worker injuries, HHR shortages in Ontario, specifically of personal support occupations, as well as outpatient satisfaction with the healthcare system in Ontario.
