I am an assistant professor at the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing and an adjunct scientist at Bloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto. I obtained my PhD in Nursing Science at the University of Toronto and completed a post-doctoral fellowship hosted jointly by BRI and CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research at McMaster University. During the fellowship, I co-wrote and secured a CIHR funded grant aimed at developing synergies between dance, neuroscience, architecture and education. Combining postmodern theory with artistic and empirical methods, this research seeks to gain critical insights into the relationship between movement and cognition in children with diverse abilities and optimize their interactions at school. This work draws on my former career with the Toronto Dance Theatre and teaching experience at the associated School, York and Toronto Metropolitan University Dance Departments.
