About Me

I am a bisexual Indigenous nurse and PhD student originally from Labrador and now based in Nova Scotia. Grounded in feminist, constructivist, and intersectional approaches, my work centers community partnership, compassion, and structural competence. At Dalhousie University, I study how systems shape health and mental health outcomes for bisexual and queer women, with a focus on equity in eating disorder care. Trained in qualitative, mixed-methods, and scoping review methodologies, my research spans eating disorders among 2S/LGBTQ women, structural compassion, and food insecurity. I also teach undergraduate nursing and give invited talks on 2S/LGBTQ+ health, critical perspectives on eating disorders, and qualitative methods. Across my work, I aim to produce scholarship that is rigorous, socially accountable, and practically useful to both people seeking care and those providing it.

Research

My work focuses on qualitative health research with feminist, equity-oriented, and arts-based approaches. My interest include how equity, diversity, and inclusion frameworks can be applied to qualitative research design, and she explores topics such as health inequities, food insecurity, compassion in healthcare, and experiences of 2S/LGBTQ+ people in health contexts through intersectional and critical lenses..
