I am a doctoral candidate in the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia, where I am affiliated with the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research. You can find a list of my published works here.

As a mixed-methods researcher, I employ ethnographic techniques that blend traditional qualitative data collection methods like participant-observation and interviewing with the analysis of routinely collected administrative data, a methodology I refer to as “computational ethnography.” My research broadly focuses on experiences of mental illness and the organization of mental health care, and my doctoral research specifically examines involuntary psychiatric treatment in British Columbia. I am also interested in medical and public health ethics, and the politics of knowledge production.

I am incredibly privileged to have grown up on, and to live in, the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations. As a non-Indigenous resident, I am committed to learning from, collaborating with, and supporting these communities through my research.
