I am a former McGill University graduate and presently work as a specialized educator. I joined Dr. King’s lab in June 2011 and will be completing a summer research project working with data collected following the Quebec ice storm in 1998 to determine the extent to which prenatal maternal stress has an impact on the prevalence of autistic-like traits in children. I have been working with special populations in clinical and educational settings for the past several years and I am now interested in translating these experiences into research.
