About

I am a PhD student in the School of Public Health Sciences, University of Waterloo. I have a PhD in Ecology and large experience using a number of quantitative tools to investigate how organisms adapt to rapid changes in their environment. I am now interested in understanding how these same rapid environmental changes (such as climate change) impact mental health. For my PhD, I am developing tools to identify individuals at risk of negative health outcomes during heat waves.
