Biography:

 

I am a graduate student in Behavioural Neuroscience at Simon Fraser University, with a strong interest in women’s health and sex-related differences in addiction. My research explores how female sex hormones influence opioid use and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying substance use disorders. I am particularly passionate about addressing gaps in women’s health research and improving our understanding of how biological sex influences addiction vulnerability and treatment outcomes. My long-term goal is to become a behavioural neuroscientist and bridge the gap between preclinical research and real-world treatment, contributing to more inclusive, effective, and evidence-based approaches to women’s health and addiction care.
