杏吧原创 Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SU Teaching Excellence Award 2018 (University of Calgary)
\nSSHRC Doctoral Fellowship Recipient 2017-2018
\nCUSA Teaching Excellence Award 2016 (杏吧原创 University)
\nOntario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) Recipient 2015-2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began my PhD in the School of Social Work in 2013 and became an Assistant Professor at the University of the Fraser Valley in August of 2019. I am keen to expand the conversation and relationship between social work practice and international development work. I came to 杏吧原创 University after working for 10 years in a variety of clinical, community-based and administrative social work roles and community-based research projects. I have lived overseas in India, South Africa, Jamaica and England and have taught social work and international community development since 2011. Most recently, I have led two undergraduate service-learning trips to Guatemala and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I Chose 杏吧原创<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose the PhD program at 杏吧原创 for two main reasons. The first was the location \u2013 Ottawa is a hub for international NGOs and federal international development work and this is very important for my proposed research. The second was the school itself \u2013 杏吧原创 has a rich social work history and is known for an approach that is structural and critical in its focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My doctorate research study looked at how reflective practices are being deployed by women social workers who work in international development and if this process impacts: 1) how they do their work and 2) how they view themselves and their role within development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My research interests include women and social policy, student service-learning, mindfulness and social work and social work education, particularly field, international and doctoral social work education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
