About Me
I am a PhD Candidate In Social-Organizational Psychology at Columbia University and a consultant specializing in organization and team development. Before pursuing my doctorate, I completed a Masters in Counselling Psychology at McGill University, and worked as a therapist in my hometown of Montreal, Canada. Prior to graduate studies, I was a professional athlete on the Canadian Women’s National Water Polo team, assisting Canada in reaching the podium at six major international events.
My work and research focuses on leveraging organizational culture, to promote psychological safety, wellness and belonging within high performance environments.
As a PhD candidate, I conduct mixed-method research focusing on the impact of organizational culture in high stakes, win-at-all-costs environments. My current project involves combining my athletic and academic interests to explore the impact of organizational culture on athlete safety, well-being and performance in Olympic/Paralympic sport. My research has been presented nationally and internationally.
