I am a PhD student in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy at UBC. Prior to beginning my doctoral studies, I completed my BA (history), B Ed (secondary education), and M Ed, all at York University in Toronto. My research has explored young people’s activism about education, the experiences of gender non-conforming K-12 teachers, and gender in teachers’ work more broadly. My writing has been published in the Journal of LGBT Youth and Teaching Education.
