What brought you to GREMAP?

I was referred by another member, Kara, when I was struggling to find community and opportunities to complement my doctoral training. She spoke highly of the group, expressing that the environment was supportive, encouraging, and productive. Given that my interests include suicide and mental health, I’ve been able to find a home with the rest of the GREMAP team.

What do you like to do outside of work/school?

I enjoy playing volleyball, papercrafting, gardening, reading, kayaking, paddleboarding, whitewater rafting, weightlifting, biking, and baking. I enjoy trying new things and finding ways to have fun! I especially love activities that get my adrenaline going, like competitive volleyball and whitewater rafting!
