I am a PhD Candidate in Experimental Psychology at the University of Ottawa, specializing in developmental and cognitive psychology.

My research focuses on how individuals develop their academic identities and how these identities shape their learning experiences and outcomes. I study both individual-level factors that explain why math identity relates to performance and broader social influences such as parents, guardians, and teachers that help shape children’s engagement with math.

My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature Reviews Psychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General and Education Sciences.

I am dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion within the research community. I am actively involved in initiatives related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ).

 As the co-founder and Chair of the Women in Cognitive Science Canada+ (WiCSC+) Trainee Board, I help develop national resources and opportunities for cognitive science trainees of all genders across Canada. I also serve on the governing board of uOttawa’s Psychology Students for Systematic Transformation, where I support initiatives that strengthen equity, inclusion, and student advocacy within uOttawa's School of Psychology. I am also the member-at-large, associate (elected student associate) for the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Sciences.

I further contribute to the international research community through my role as the DEIJ Chair for the Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society (MCLS), where I work to foster a more inclusive and accessible environment for members at all career stages.
