As a generalist social worker with over a decade of experience in the US and Canada, I have focused on community-based research, social work education, and ethics in post-secondary institutions. My interests and scholarship include research and practice with marginalized and vulnerable populations, domestic violence, working with students as partners in research, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. I am a member of the ACSW and a registered social worker.
