Position Title
Location:

"My favourite courses were close relationships, human sexuality, and couple therapy. I took most of these courses with Dr. Rebecca Cobb, who eventually became my honours supervisor. We conducted research on how individuals maintain their relationship satisfaction and personal well-being while living long-distance from a romantic partner.

My SFU experience was also enriched by being an engagement programming assistant, teaching assistant, and peer mentor. I was Psychology’s first Engagement Programming Assistant and was proud to establish the Psychology Research Lab Fair to connect students and research labs. Furthermore, I created a webpage to recognize and feature the research being conducted by our psychology undergrads. I was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed being a teaching assistant and how rewarding it was to inspire and support students’ learning of research methods. As a FASS peer mentor, I had a lot of fun meeting with my mentees to talk about academics and life."
