I received my PhD in Sociology from Carleton University in 2008 and my Masters in Criminology from the University of Ottawa in 2003. Prior to joining Laurier as a faculty member in 2009, I was a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council postdoctoral fellow and invited professor at the University of Ottawa, Department of Criminology.

I am a member of the Canadian Criminal Justice Association (CCJA) board of directors and was chair of the CCJA Policy Review Committee from 2008-15. I am a member of the publication committee for the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction.

I am passionate about contributing to the improvement of the Canadian criminal justice system through evidence-based policy.

Using symbolic interactionist and structural theories, I research the impacts of the criminal justice system on the lives of marginalized persons. I am a primarily qualitative researcher with a strong interest in classical and contemporary social theory and theories of stigma, in particular.

I also am interested in developing and examining qualitative methodologies. I am currently conducting research in the areas of families affected by crime and incarceration, sex work in Canada, and the social construction of consent.

• Chair of the Canadian Criminal Justice Association’s Policy Review Committee
• Canadian Families and Corrections Network “Friend of the Family” award, 2015

I am willing to supervise graduate students working in the areas of sex work, offender reintegration, sociopolitics of criminal justice policy and the effects of crime on various marginal groups.
