Summary:

A Métis scholar, my research broadly focuses on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous children, youth, women, and families, as well as children and youth with complex needs. All of my research aligns with a community-based participatory approach, with predominantly qualitative and mixed methods. Current projects include a qualitative study to co-create an Indigenous Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Framework with input from communities across Canada; a line of research regarding expanding experiential and decolonial learning in professional psychology graduate training; and mixed-methods work to reimagine developmental screening with Indigenous children and families.
