I am currently completing a PhD in Political Science at SFU. My primary research interests are generational theory, public opinion on security and defence issues, international relations, and strategic culture. My research examines how different generations (Baby Boomers, Millennials, etc.) view security and defence issues and asks whether generational shifts may alter how we approach security and defence issues in the future. Through my work on the NATO Field School program from 2018-2021, I have also developed an interest in pedagogy, more specifically, how simulations, experiential learning, and field study can impact and enrich student learning
