Received a PhD. in Counselling Psychology from Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto (OISE/UT) and am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario with competencies in clinical and forensic psychology. As a research scientist, I am charged with advancing the Research and Academic Plan of the hospital by expanding my own program of research and supporting research across the hospital. More specifically, my research focuses on issues within the intersection of the mental health and legal systems. I also have adjunct faculty status within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Ontario Tech University (UOIT) and York University where I sometimes teach graduate-level courses and supervise many students.
