I'm a Ph.D. student in Clinical Psychology at Queen's University under the supervision of Dr. Monica Castelhano in the Queen's Visual Cognition Lab.
I'm curious about how differences in how people perceive, pay attention and navigate the world lead to different behavioural presentations in healthy and clinical populations. I am interested in how factors like gender influence internal (i.e., risk of depression/anxiety & masking strategies) and external behaviours (i.e., social difficulties).
Find out more about the research I'm working on!
I have completed clinical placements with populations across the lifespan -- from children and youth to adults to seniors. I've also been involved in the Autism Screening Clinic and Social Skills Groups at Queen's Psychology Clinic.
