About Me
I am a human geographer whose research sits at the intersection of economic geography, health and spatial analysis. My work explores how place, access, privileges, and policy intersect to shape life chances and everyday life, including everyday financial experiences and well-being.
My approaches to geographical analysis are grounded in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including GIS and spatial econometrics. My research is data-driven and policy-engaged, leveraging interviews, national surveys, census data, and geospatial analytics to uncover the social, health, and economic aspects of life.
I am currently a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Dr. Nancy Worth. I hold a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship one of Canada’s most prestigious and competitive awards. My dissertation aims to investigate the lived financial experiences of people with disabilities using fringe financial institutions.
