Prior to her current position, she served as a Research Associate and Post Doctoral Fellow at the Canadian Institute for Public Safety Research and Treatment (CIPSRT) at the University of Regina in Canada. Her research focuses on applying advanced statistical methodologies to public health challenges.

Her primary research interests include:

• Multilevel Modeling for complex hierarchical data structures
• Longitudinal Data Analysis for tracking health outcomes over time
• Structural Equation Modeling for testing theoretical frameworks
• Meta-analysis techniques for evidence synthesis
• Big Data Analysis in public health contexts
• Experimental Design Analysis for intervention studies

She is particularly interested in mental health applications for public safety personnel.

Her recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on mental health epidemiology among law enforcement and correctional workers. Research themes consistently examine: psychological trauma exposure, resilience training efficacy, suicidal behavior patterns, personality-mental health interactions, and physiological stress responses. Methodologically, her work employs longitudinal designs, multilevel modeling, and large-scale epidemiological assessments.
