Biography
Welcome.
I am an Associate Professor in School and Applied Child Psychology (SACP) and the Graduate Program Director for Educational Psychology. I have experience coordinating blended (online and on-campus) programs in school and counselling psychology and currently teach in online and face-to-face formats. In my clinical work, I am interested in the assessment of adults and ADHD. My research interests fall within two areas. First, supporting students with disabilities in the classroom. This includes preparing students for the transition to postsecondary learning, fostering self-regulated learning (e.g., coping, motivation, self-efficacy, metacognition) and identifying the learning needs of students. Second, issues with formal cognitive and academic assessment such as ethical practice and identification of learning disabilities.
