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 and 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 am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

I have taught courses across graduate, undergraduate, and college levels over the years. I am actively involved in the behaviour science community and am currently a board member of the Behaviorists for Social Responsibility Special Interest Group, both in Ontario and via the Association for Behavior Analysis International; I also served as the President of the Ontario Association for Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA).

I focused many years of my career on providing services for people 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. I am also always interested in applying innovations in technology to the study of behavior. My current research interests include:

• The influence of language on socially important issues (e.g., stimulus equivalence, relational frame theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Training)

• Practices in Pedagogy (e.g., active learning, online discussions, adaptive learning, 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.
