ABOUT ME
I am a Ph.D. holder in Cognitive Psychology from Carleton University. During my PhD studies, I worked on cognitive factors such as absolute identification and numerical processing effects to explore their associations with autistic traits. I received my first post-doctoral fellowship (Psychology) from the University of Ottawa. Currently, I am a CIHR post-doctoral fellow in Neuroscience in the Vulnerability, Trauma, Resilience and Culture Research Laboratory (VTRaC-lab) at the University of Ottawa.
