Born and raised in the Northwest Territories, I am a proud Northerner and my interests in Northern issues and Aboriginal peoples brought me to McGill where I discovered my penchant for social psychology almost by accident while taking Dr. Taylor’s introductory class. I completed my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Anthropology and focus on Native studies at McGill and am now pursuing my research interests at the graduate level. Currently, I am investigating the role of cultural identity in the maintenance of widespread dysfunctional behaviours within Aboriginal communities.

I always had a keen interest in understanding the world surrounding me, especially the major issues I felt very concerned about. I decided to be a social psychologist because research provides understanding and evidence based solutions to social issues I wish to solve. As I was completing my undergraduate honor degree at Université de Montréal, I worked on adolescence with Professor Claes and identity/immigration issues with Professor de la Sablonnière.

Through my research, I seek to understand the process of “radicalization”, that is the psychological processes underlying an individual’s justification and motivation for terrorism.
 
Thus, my research is issue driven, and focuses on homegrown terrorism. In contrast to transnational terrorism, where people plot to attack a foreign country, homegrown terrorism is characterized by perpetrators who are born and raised in the very country they wish to attack.

I was born and grew up in Calgary, Alberta. I did my first year of university abroad at the International Study Centre, in Sussex, England. For my second year, I returned to Canada, and to Queen's University, Ontario where I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. At Queen's I developed a strong interest in cross-cultural psychology as well as in other related fields such as intercultural relations and Aboriginal studies.

I was born and raised in Montréal, but I have loved traveling from a very young age. After high school, I completed my International Baccalaureate at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf to quench my desire for acquiring an international perspective to my knowledge. This led me to later travel to Senegal, West Africa, and Grenada, West Indies, as a volunteer worker. But it is while attending McGill University to complete my B.A., doing my honours in psychology and minor in international development studies, that my passion for social psychology and intergroup relations developed more concretely.
