I am currently an MA student at McGill University, studying political science with a concentration in Canadian politics. My research interests include Northern Canadian politics and public policy, Canadian politics, political opinion, and elections, and quantitative methods. I am a graduate of StFX University ('21) with a BA with an honours in political science and a subsidiary in sociology, where I received the convocation gold medal.
I am a current CAnD3 fellow, and a member of the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship.
I entered the CAnD3 fellowship with 3 key learning objectives:
Strengthen my skills in communicating my research to reach broader audiences.
To learn how I can apply my research and analytical skills to address concrete real-world policy issues.
Improve my team work, leadership, and communication skills; especially the ability to help leverage group members' diverse skillsets.
More information on my CAnD3 experience and how I have pursued these learning objectives can be found here.
My long-term career goal is to pursue a career in academic, in order to further explore my research interests. However, I am also interested in gaining professional experience in government and non-governmental organizations, to further develop my analytical skills.
In the summer of 2021 I had the privilege to work in the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly as a research intern, assisting the Clerk's Office in preparing members to fulfill their duties. This opportunity allowed me to blend my research interests with hands-on professional experience.
