McMaster Experts Profile

Q: What is the most prominent program of research and/or scholarship that you are best known for?

A: Improving access and engagement in children's rehabilitation services with equity seeking families. This includes investigating models of service delivery, family experiences of care, health policy, and critical perspectives in family-centred care. This also includes studying the methods, outcomes, and training to promote authentic and meaningful engagement of stakeholders in research.

 

Q: What are other programs of research and/or scholarship that you have pursued?

A: Other areas of scholarship that I have been involved in include the topics of ethics in children's rehabilitation service delivery, parent mental health, tele-rehabilitation, and school based-therapy services.

 

Q: Do you have any advice for young investigators who are starting out in their careers?

Take time to develop community relationships and discuss the topics of research that would be of mutual benefit and interest before co-developing projects. Be courageous in connecting with scholars you admire, I have been gifted with mentorship, advice, and passionate collaborators. Stay curious, determined and resilient.
