I’m currently working as a Senior Research Analyst at BC Corrections. My main responsibilities include research design, program evaluation and data analysis.

I’m also an Adjunct Assistant Professor affiliated with the Different Minds Lab at the University of Victoria . I study how people recognize things visually, and how to use cutting-edge science and technology to help people improve visual skills that are relevant to them, such as recognizing faces, identifying melanoma, etc.

You can find a list of my publications in my Google Scholar profile. I am passionate about applying cutting-edge science and technologies to solve real-world problems.

In my spare time (if I ever have any...), I enjoy spending time with family, playing guitar (sometimes I even make music ), and shooting photos.
