My research focuses on the social determinants of mental health and well-being in various populations, including children and youth and individuals who are homeless or vulnerably housed.

Currently, I examine how risk and protective factors at different ecological levels (i.e., family, school, neighbourhood) are associated with mental health and well-being outcomes in children and youth. A major purpose of my research is to identify modifiable factors of mental health disorders to inform prevention and interventions strategies. This research draws from large-scale linked datasets, including student- and teacher-reported survey data as well as administrative health and education data.

A second focus of my research is on the development and validation of measures of well-being and quality of life.

I completed a PhD in psychometrics at UBC and received postdoctoral training in psychiatric epidemiology at Harvard Medical School and in population and public health at the Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes and HELP (SPPH, UBC).
