I am a sociologist and writing specialist working in Canadian higher education. My research focuses on secularism, nonreligion, and how people negotiate identity and stigma in settings shaped by religion, colonial histories, and institutional change.
At the University of Alberta, I support graduate researchers and faculty with academic writing, argumentation, and revision practices, and I work on practical and ethical questions raised by generative AI in teaching and research contexts.
I hold a PhD in Sociology from the University of Alberta. I am a secular humanist, and the research has largely followed from that.
