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.

I employ anthropological techniques that blend traditional ethnographic data collection methods like participant-observation, artifact and document analysis, and interviewing with the analysis of routinely collected administrative data. My research interests fall within the domain of public mental health, and broadly focuses on three substantive and overlapping themes:

1. experiences of mental illness;
2. the organization and delivery of mental health care; and
3. the politics of knowledge production in mental health research.

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.
