(She/Her)

LLB University of Western Australia, LLM Murdoch University, LLM Bournemouth University, PhD University of Nottingham, SFHEA.

Since 2024 I have been a Committee Member of the British Association for Canadian Studies (www.https://britishassociationforcanadianstudies.com/).

I was very grateful to receive an invitation to the Education and Skills Royal Garden Party, a career highlight and memorable occasion for me and my fellow educators.

In 2023 I was awarded the Prix de la Délégation générale du Québec à Londres, a prize generously offered by the Québec Government Office in London, UK to support students and academics to carry out research in Québec studies. I am originally from Beaconsfield, Quebec and a McGill University graduate.
