I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Social Psychology at the University of Windsor.

My research explores the way victims of gender-based violence interact with larger systems and institutions on a day-to-day basis, including survivor perceptions of procedural justice and institutional betrayal. I am interested in the complex ways in which policies, processes, and protocols can impact recovery after victimization. I am interested in institutional responses to gender-based violence, including in legal and educational contexts. Currently, my dissertation research is focused on university responses to campus sexual assault.

I am currently working as a Research Coordinator for the Sexual Assault Centre of Essex County on a large-scale project assessing gender-based violence crisis lines in Ontario in collaboration with the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services.
