BIO
I am a Registered Behaviour Analyst in Ontario, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst, and Coordinator of the Master of Professional Education in Applied Behaviour Analysis. My work is interdisciplinary, integrating applied behaviour analysis with education, mental health, economics, and data science to address complex challenges facing individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

I have ongoing projects in the following areas:
- Inclusive camp programming for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Autism policy research on waitlists, economic impact, and access to services
- Behaviour analytic interventions for individuals with Down syndrome
- Assessment and treatment of co-occurring mental health conditions in developmental disabilities, including OCD and anxiety in autism
