Prospective Graduate Students

2024-2025: I am looking for creative and ambitious graduate students (M.A. or Ph.D.) who value theory, rigorous and transparent research, and knowledge mobilization initiatives within the area of developmental psychology to join my team. See our projects for more information about current focus areas in our research. 

I encourage you to apply to SFU's graduate program under my advisement if you:

• Are interested and driven to better understand human development through the lens of emotion
• Are eager to learn cutting-edge research methods
• Have a good foundation of writing and presentation skills
• Are an independent self-starter and work well in teams
• Hold kindness and respect as core values in your scholarship and within your life

Graduate Student Training

I am seeking graduate students who wish to join the Psychology Graduate Program (Developmental Area). As an advisor, my goal is to prepare you for a career beyond graduate school (in academia or otherwise). Through the program and my mentorship, you will learn research-specific skills (i.e., developing hypotheses, desiging research studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing and publishing manuscripts in top-tier journals, and presenting research findings) and other transferrable skills (e.g., leadership, communication, problem-solving, community-building, time management) that will set you up for success. Importantly, I strive to nurture meaningful connections between researchers, organizations, community leaders, and families to foster mutually-beneficial relationships with the goal of promoting healthy child development and family wellbeing in our local communities and around the globe.
