Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary

I am a qualitative methodologist and a public health sociologist and my research focuses on adolescent and young adult substance use, harm reduction, and drug policy reform. In addition to research on youth cannabis use and the public health implications of cannabis legalization in Canada, my current projects also include qualitative research on the family contexts of substance use. My work focuses on youth and community engagement through participatory and arts-based methods including participant-produced photography and digital storytelling.
