Biography:
I am a PhD student at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus working on the Supporting Survivors of Abuse and Brain Injury through Research (SOAR) Project. I received my BSc (Hons.) in Physiology from the University of Alberta followed by a MSc in Exercise Sciences from the University of Toronto.

My research looks at changes in neuroendocrine hormones following brain injury. In my MSc, this was focused on a student-athlete population and how changes in progesterone and the menstrual cycle had effects on concussion outcomes in female athletes. I’m looking forwards to continuing this work at UBCO and the SOAR Project to investigate other neuroendocrine changes in a population of survivors of intimate partner violence.

Research areas of interest:

neuroendocrine changes in a population of survivors of intimate partner violence

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.
