About


I'm a PhD candidate in my fourth year in the Developmental Psychology and Education Program at OISE, at the University of Toronto. I'm supervised by Drs. Michal Perlman and Elizabeth Dhuey and am an active member of the Equity in Education Research Group.
My primary area of interest is the 21st century skills required in the evolving world of work. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has ushered in an era of employment uncertainty. Young people entering the labour market are increasingly unsure about how to secure employment now that jobs are becoming automated. Researchers, policy-makers and educators have recognized the need to train people with the 21st century skills needed for the future world of work.

Through my research, I aim to understand the who, what and how of 21st century skills.
