About
I completed my Psychology Specialist Bachelor’s degree at the University of Toronto. During this time I gained research experience in Clinical and Social/Personality Psychology. I completed my Clinical Psychology Master’s degree at the University of British Columbia. My thesis investigated interpersonal emotion regulation and its association with affect in response to stress. I am currently a PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program, working with Dr. Joelle LeMoult in her Depression, Anxiety and Stress Lab (DAS Lab).
Research
I study emotion within the context of Clinical Psychology. My research seeks to investigate individual differences in response to stress and emotional regulation within anxiety and depression. I am currently examining this in participants with comorbid Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
