PhD Candidate, Faculty of Education, L’Université d’Ottawa/University of Ottawa

I'm a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa.

I am currently teaching a special topics course (Education in Times of Crises) in the Graduate Studies Program that I designed to respond to the current political moment. It deals with the ongoing crises (COVID-19, racism pandemic, climate change, growing economic inequality) in relation to education.

My doctoral research examines critical approaches to financial literacy education among high school teachers.
