Biography
I completed my undergraduate psychology degree at Laurentian University (Sudbury, Canada), my Master's degree in psychology at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada), and my PhD at the Auckland University of Technology (New Zealand).
As a researcher in the area of health psychology, I have a very broad range of interests including health behaviors, psycho-oncology, and chronic illness. In terms of health behaviors, I have interest in alcohol use and disordered eating, as well as the intersection of those behaviors. I also have interest in social connections, loneliness, and well-being in the context of cancer, including cancer survivorship.
