PhD Student in Psychology, Queen's University, Ontario

I'm a first-year PhD student at Queen's, in social-personality psychology. I completed my BA and MA at the University of Saskatchewan, focusing on interactions between positive bisexual identity, microaffirmations, and gender. My main research interests are positive sexual minority identity, gender/sex/uality labels and labelling choices, bisexual representation in media, and mental illness experiences in academia. I work on the board of directors with the Saskatoon Abortion Support Network, and deeply value the interconnections between academia and community. In my free time, I enjoy crafting, aerial dancing, and cuddling with my three cats!
