I am a PhD candidate in Psychology at the University of Toronto. In my doctoral studies I am interested in understanding the ways in which psychological research is interpreted, identified with and internalised in daily life, and the role that it plays in public discourse. I am particularly interested in the forms of subjectivity or experience invited by the new technologies, practices and ways of framing human nature deployed in contemporary psychological research.

I am also a trained counselling psychologist, and prior to moving to Toronto, held an academic post in the Psychology Department at Rhodes University, where I taught in the graduate and undergraduate programmes, supervised research and clinical students, and ran a small part-time private practice.
