My research brings together community development, public health, HIV prevention, and adolescent wellbeing. I work with youth, community partners, and allied practitioners to develop research that responds to the issues young people identify as important in their lives.
My work focuses on adolescent sexual and reproductive health, with a particular interest in HIV prevention, health equity, and youth engagement. I am also committed to community-based participatory research and to approaches that position young people as partners in creating knowledge and driving change.
I work across qualitative, quantitative, and arts-based methodologies, including participatory visual methods and applied theatre. Through collaborations in Canada and internationally, I seek to connect research with action and support meaningful improvements in the health and wellbeing of young people and their communities.
