About
I am a PhD Candidate in Sociology at Concordia University, a CAnD3 Doctoral Fellow at McGill University, and a CRDCN Emerging Scholar at the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN). My doctoral research is focused on the social determinants of mental health and population-level disparities in mental health outcomes, particularly psychological distress, anxiety, and depression among youth and young adults in Canada.
My doctoral research has been supported by funding from Concordia University, Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et Culture (FRQSC), the Quebec Interuniversity Center for Social Statistics (QICSS), and the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN).
Methodologically, I am interested in quantitative research methods, survey methodology, applied social statistics, and machine learning, with a focus on official large-scale surveys with complex sampling designs.
I teach courses in both Sociological Theory and Method, including Social Statistics, Quantitative Research Methods, Social Problems and Inequalities, Sociology of Health, and Survey Methodology, with an emphasis on connecting course material to real-world applications. In my courses, I incorporate experiential learning to provide students with more opportunities to work with real-world data on topics such as income inequality, food insecurity, housing, and disparities in health outcomes, allowing them to see the impact their work can have in creating a functional and healthy society.
