My current research focuses on developing an understanding of the experiences of culturally diverse individuals who have been assessed in Canada, particularly with regards to the standardized assessment procedures used in cognitive and academic assessments. I am also involved in research projects in which we are investigating the use of competency-based education to teach mixed methods research.
I successfully defended my Ph.D. candidacy exam in October of 2020. I will be starting my doctoral level residency at the Dr. Angela Fountain & Associates clinic in Ontario in the fall of 2021!
