I am an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education, in the MPED in the Field of Applied Behaviour Analysis program. I completed my PhD at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, in Psychology. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and also earned my Master of Arts degree from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, majoring in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis.

I have taught courses across graduate, undergraduate, and college levels over the years. I am actively involved in the local behaviour analytic community and also served as the President of the Ontario Association for Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA).

I have focused many years of my career on providing services for individuals with developmental disabilities, while also conducting research on a broad range of topics that span the distribution of the general population. In addition to my main research interests below, I also strongly believe in conducting timely research that addresses the most pressing issues of our time. My current research interests include:

• The influence of language on socially important phenomena (e.g., stimulus equivalence, relational frame theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Training)
• Practices in Pedagogy (e.g., active learning, online discussions, etc.)
• Applied quantitative analysis of behaviour (e.g., behavioural economics, delay discounting, demand analyses, matching law, etc.)
• Health, sports, and fitness (e.g., increasing well-being, decision-making, etc.)
• Social responsibility (e.g., issues related to sustainability and bias)
• Psychometric validation of behaviour analytic assessment protocols

I am always interested in collaborating and working with students and professionals with shared interests and aims.
