I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Lethbridge. I have a PhD in geography from the University of British Columbia. Broadly my research agenda addresses the lives and livelihoods of (im)migrants in Canada using critical qualitative methods. From 2021-2023 I was a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) funded postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Refugee Studies at York University in Toronto, Canada. 

I am the author of We asked for refugees, we got people instead. Refugee placemaking in Canada (Nov 2026) with McGill-Queen’s University Press. 

My recent SSHRC-funded research addresses the intentional geographies of the Canadian meatpacking industry and the lives of migrant, immigrant and refugee workers who do this precarious work. I am also a co-investigator on a SSHRC Insight Grant on refugee resettlement in smaller centres. 

My research practice is community-informed and policy oriented. I have had the privelege of working closely with community organizations in Alberta, including social justice organizations to develop and deliver public education programs related to critical policy issues. I have also worked as a facilitator and convener for a variety of community-based research projects.
