Emily has been a member of the Department of Psychology at John Abbott College since 2018. She has taught an array of courses in both pre-university and career programs, which include Introduction to Psychology, The Human Brain, Social Psychology, Psychology of Sport, Psychology of Human Development, Communication Skills, Adolescence to Maturity, Issues in Psychology and Health Care, Research Methods, and Integration in Social Sciences.

Emily has a PhD in Psychology (Behavioural Neurobiology) from Concordia University. Her research focused on the neurobiological basis of learning and memory, specifically trying to understand: how we recognize objects, the role of the environmental context in learning, and how we integrate information about the time of day and the availability of food. Emily was excited to join the Psychology Department at JAC because this is where she first became interested in pursuing psychology after taking an Introduction to Psychology complementary course. Emily hopes to inspire other students to achieve their academic and career goals. In her free time, Emily enjoys running, cycling, cross-country skiing, and reading.
