When I started my PhD in Educational Psychology, I had been working in K-16 education as a teacher and counsellor for ten years, and I saw the myriad ways that mental health interacted with learning.

​

My PhD dissertation attempted to answer the question -- if we teach students how to learn better, does that also improve their mental health?

 

Now, post-PhD, I bring this knowledge and experience to working with grad students to help them learn better in grad school.

​

I love sharing my knowledge about learning strategies for grad students, especially self-regulated learning strategies.

 

I was learning about self-regulating my learning during grad school (and wrote a dissertation about it) and think it is so valuable for grad students.

​

However, I realized that there is very little information out there that brings evidence-based learning strategies to grad students so I decided to create it myself!

​

I know that grad students need access to information and affordable solutions to help navigate the challenges of grad school and that is why I share valuable information through How To Grad School. ​​

​

I also work as a clinical counsellor in BC with students of all ages, and especially enjoy working with graduate students to help them build resilience in the unique context of grad school.
