I completed my PhD in Psychology at the University of Toronto in 2015, supported by an Alexander Graham Bell doctoral scholarship from the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). In 2014, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Vienna, and from 2015 to 2016, I held an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at Leiden University. In 2016, I was awarded a VENI grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO), but I declined it to accept an Assistant Professor position in the Department of Psychology at the University of Macau, where I taught Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and History of Psychology from 2016 to 2021. In 2021, I resigned from my tenure-track position and returned to Canada.
Since 2021, I’ve held positions across different industries. From 2021 to 2022, I worked as a Research Analyst at IcebergIQ, helping SaaS companies gather market insights. From 2022 to 2023, I served as a Field Director at Brendan Wood International, an investment advisory firm specializing in performance intelligence for capital markets. Since 2023, I have been a writer and editor at Our Kids Media, which assists families in finding private/independent schools, camps, and retirement communities across Canada.
My book, Experimental Psychology and Human Agency, was published by Springer in 2019. I co-edited a follow-up book with Jaan Valsiner titled Experimental Psychology: Ambitions & Possibilities, which further explores themes from my first book.
