Over the 2020-2021 academic year I completed my Master of Science in Management concentrating in Organizational Behaviour (OB). I did so at the Smith School of Business, Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

​

My intention going into my undergrad in psychology was to continue in psychology by pursuing a Master's and PhD in Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology. However, after much deliberation, I decided to switch into business to pursue OB which essentially is the same as I/O, but in a different department. 

​

Dr. Julian Barling was my supervisor for my MSc. ​My MSc thesis, titled "Parents’ Work Injuries and Children’s Later Leader Emergence" investigated how a parent being involved in a workplace safety incident while growing up affects children's leader emergence in young adulthood. The findings suggest that the impact the incident has positively relates to leader role occupancy in young adulthood through posttraumatic growth and leader identity. Further, the strength of the relationship between the impact of the incident and posttraumatic growth depends on family factors such as parenting style and home environment.
