I am a sixth year PhD student in the School and Applied Child Psychology program. I am originally from Montreal and completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in German at McGill University. This program offers a cohort model and I am profoundly grateful for the members of my cohort. I have learned so much from them. In my spare time, I enjoy learning new languages, practicing martial arts and swimming. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. A piece of advice for new grad students – be bold, be brave, and be yourself.
