Incredibly honoured to have been named a member of the #CASFutureLeaders class of 2026!

I think 6 year-old me, with dreams of being a leader in science (while still moving around using a wheelchair those days), would be proud of me for being able to lead by example now!

Yesterday I met an incredible group of undergraduate psychology students at Dalhousie. I was blown away by their insight, self-awareness, and desire to turn learning into real-world impact. In a time when we’re all craving meaning and connection, this generation gives me so much hope. @DalhousieU @DalScience
