What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply research-informed social work to strengthen mental health and behavioural health support—especially for youth—through impactful community outreach, psychosocial assessment, and interventions that improve access, recovery, and long-term outcomes.

I am a social worker and researcher with interests in mental health, youth well-being, behavioural addictions, community health, and social policy. My interest in research grew from supporting individuals and families facing mental health and psychosocial challenges, and I now focus on how broader social, psychological, and economic factors shape health and well-being.

I bring experience across clinical practice, psychiatric research, community engagement, child protection advocacy, and mental health outreach—conducting psychosocial assessments, supporting interventions, and contributing to community-based initiatives. I also strengthen practice with research activities like data collection, qualitative coding, quantitative organization, and literature review, and my background includes a Master of Social Work dissertation examining betting addiction determinants among youth.
