Biography:

I am a PhD candidate in Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia with research interests spanning affective neuroscience, substance use, and mental health. My work focuses on the neurobiology of opioid withdrawal and affective dysregulation, with a strong interest in how sex‑related biological factors shape vulnerability, symptom expression, and treatment outcomes. Through a translational neuroscience lens, I aim to contribute to more equitable, evidence‑based approaches to women’s health research and care.

Research areas of interest:

Neurobiology of Addiction, Social Determinants of Health

Research Themes:

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
