About me

As a researcher I am interested in healthcare policy. More specifically, how 2SLGBTQ older adults of diverse embodiments and identities can be better supported by clinicians in Ontario.

In all research areas, my primary axiological, ontological, and epistemological commitments are to relationality, responsibility, and reflexivity
