Biography
My research focuses on transportation accessibility. My doctoral dissertation seeks to unpack Ontario’s student transportation apparatus through a comprehensive examination of legislative frameworks in tandem with the experiences of school transportation practitioners and families living with childhood disability. I work as a research affiliate in the Engagement and Planning for Inclusive Communities (EPIC) Lab at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
Previous professional experience includes working as an urban planner for a Toronto-based land use planning consultancy.
My masters research focused on automated vehicles and their future impacts on land use planning and policy-making.
