Bio/Research
As professor within the School of Early Childhood Studies, I hold a doctorate in Human Development and Applied Psychology from the University of Toronto. My graduate studies began at the University of Missouri in Human Development and Family Studies with a specialization in early childhood.
Prior to graduate studies, I worked as a child life specialist in three North American paediatric hospitals. I have consulted internationally on research methods with young children and psychosocial care issues for children with chronic medical conditions.
I am primary investigator on two externally funded studies (SSHRC Partnership Development and Insight grants), and one internally funded study. For the past ten years, I have maintained an affiliation with The Hospital for Sick Children as an adjunct scientist within the Research Institute.
