Work in Action
Community-Based Research
I collaborate with community groups and organizations to explore disability experiences and their connections to education, healthcare, rehabilitation, recreation, and social systems. Through qualitative, arts-based, and mixed-method approaches, my research centres community voices and lived experiences.
Measuring Impact
I support organizations through comprehensive program evaluation to understand what is working, what can be improved, and how initiatives create meaningful impact. My approach is guided by equity, collaboration, and relevance to each project’s unique goals.
Bringing Research Into Practice
I transform research findings into accessible knowledge through presentations, workshops, training sessions, and publications. By connecting research with practice and policy, I help communities and organizations apply insights to create positive change.
Professional Journey
My professional journey has been shaped by a commitment to advancing disability inclusion, equity, and social change through research and program evaluation. With a background in academic scholarship and community-based initiatives, I have worked across diverse contexts to bridge theory and practice. My research explores disability, health, education, and policy, while my evaluation work focuses on measuring impact and supporting organizations in creating meaningful improvements.
Over the years, I have collaborated with academic institutions, non-profits, and community partners to highlight voices that are often overlooked and ensure their perspectives guide decision-making. Through publications, presentations, and applied evaluation projects, my goal has been to foster learning, strengthen programs, and contribute to more inclusive and equitable systems.
