I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at The University of Western Ontario. I graduated with my Specialized Honours B.A. in Psychology from York University in June 2024. 

​

My research interest primarily lies in how we can use writing as an intervention and therapeutic tool to gain insight into the way we create narratives about our past, present and future selves. I am particularly interested in how this can be used during major transitional periods (emerging adulthood, motherhood, immigration, career changes) to provide greater self-concept clarity, improve foresight, and reduce risky and excessive behaviours.

 

I recently completed my Honours Thesis with Dr. Raymond Mar on this topic. We investigated how writing your own obituary during emerging adulthood may impact present and future sense of self, feelings of meaning and nihilism, and present and future related anxiety. We are currently collaborating with a team of researchers in the Netherlands for further analysis, and are preparing this project for publication. 

​​

Outside of academia, I am an avid artist with ongoing projects in acrylic painting, creative writing, music production, and clothes design – to name a few! I’m currently working on a dystopian space opera and novel (which is taking much longer than I anticipated), both of which I hope to publish one day!
