Biography

I am a trauma therapist and researcher from Toronto, Canada, committed to improving mental health care for underserved and vulnerable populations. I have supported individuals navigating some of the most painful and complex chapters of their lives, including those affected by trauma, loss, and adversity. I hold an MSc in Clinical Psychology from Leiden University, and at Cambridge, my PhD research will focus on developing and evaluating a trauma intervention for very young children with PTSD—a population for whom no clinical guidelines currently exist. By creating scalable, evidence-based treatments, my work aims to close a critical gap in early childhood mental health and make effective care more globally accessible. I believe research can be a force for healing, equity, and systemic change, and I am honoured to join the Gates Cambridge community of scholars working to improve lives through inquiry, compassion, and service.
