About

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science & Sociology as well as a Master of Arts in Sociology (Criminal Justice/Criminology), both earned from the University of Alberta. My master's research, supervised by Dr. Kevin Haggerty, explored the shortcomings of structured intervention units as an alternative to administrative segregation in Canadian prisons. I had the pleasure of working as a Teaching Assistant for multiple courses and as a Research Assistant on a variety of captivating projects.

With a desire to continue my journey in the academic world, I began exploring career options in research. Following the completion of my master's degree, I embarked on a new chapter at the University of Alberta, joining the Research Partner Network as a Research Administration Specialist. In this role, I work collaboratively with the VPRI portfolio, colleges, faculties, and departments to provide researchers with tactical, targeted, end-to-end research procedure and policy related guidance in support of the University's overall research endeavour.

I am assigned to the College of Natural & Applied Sciences, providing research support to all of the departments within the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences. Please feel free to contact me regarding any research policy, procedure, or administration related inquiries – I am always happy to connect.
