I hold an MA in Human Geography by Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo. Prior to joining NTNU, I was a Blue Book Trainee at the European Commission.
Broadly speaking, my previous work has explored questions to do with immigration policy, the phenomenon of population ageing, and the connection between these two. My current PhD project explores the different roles that foreign born, home-based, elderly care workers play in rural regions of Southern Europe.
