Teaching and Mentoring

I gained years of volunteer and paid tutoring experience while I was an undergraduate. After completing my B.A. and Psychology Honours extension at the University of the Fraser Valley, I mentored youth for four years as a live-in caregiver. Earning my MA and PhD At the University of Toronto, I was a teaching assistant and head teaching assistant for a number of courses and served as the primary advisor two supervised study thesis projects. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Rady School of Management, University of San Diego California, I supervised another (Psychology Honours) project.
