Research
My research has focused primarily on developing and evaluating interventions to support individuals in gaining the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to manage their health conditions and access and navigate services and opportunities. My research program has focused specifically on two populations: (1) immigrants, a population who experience many access barriers, and (2) people who live with chronic health conditions.
Current Research Projects
