Biography
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary. My research work is co-supervised by Dr. Sheri Madigan, Ph.D, R.Psych (University of Calgary) and Dr. Nicole Racine, Ph.D, C.Psych (University of Ottawa). I am also a registered Clinical Psychologist (Supervised Practice) in Ontario, Canada.
My research is grounded in a fundamental belief that relationships shape wellbeing across all stages of development. Adolescence is a particularly sensitive developmental period marked by rapid socioemotional growth and increasing salience of interpersonal relationships for identity formation and well-being. As a researcher, I am interested in understanding how adolescents' interpersonal relationships (with a particular empahasis on peer relationships and relationships with adults at school) influence their social and emotional development. Specifically, I am interested in how youth become involved in harmful interpersonal violence, such as bullying, and the impact of interpersonal violence on youths' mental health and well-being. My postdoctoral research uses longitudinal and meta-analytic research methods to examine how early life environmental risk factors and interpersonal relationships (e.g., with caregivers, peers, teachers) throughout development jointly shape adolescent bullying and socio-emotional development. I draw from ecological systems theory, coping theories, and developmental psychopathology theories in my research.
