I am associate professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education and currently hold a Canada Research Chair in Participation, Well-Being, and Physical Disability (Tier 2). The overarching goal of my research program is to enhance the lives of adults experiencing disability via two streams: (1) adapted physical activity and (2) spinal cord injury (SCI) peer support. In the Adapted Physical Activity stream, I focus on building an understanding of the process to help persons with a physical disability engage in physical activity while identifying and testing solutions to overcome important physical activity barriers. This work includes the adapted physical activity program we run for McGill students and staff experiencing disability, named Fitness Access McGill. In the SCI Peer Support stream, I lead a pan-Canadian community-university partnerships aimed to develop tools to optimize peer support for persons with SCI. In my leisure time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, jogging, reading crime novels and comic books, and going to the parc with my young children.

Peer support and mentorship is highly personal as it is both integral to my research program and an important aspect of the academic professional life. I am grateful for the mentorship I have received over the years. Learning from our shared experiences through discussions and stories enables us to feel understood, learn, and grow as people and professionals. I am honored to be part of this mentorship program and look forward to sharing with fellow McGill colleagues.
