Biography
I’m a PhD student in health sciences research and a research assistant for the Institutional Research Chair in Chronic Pain Epidemiology (Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Rouyn-Noranda, Canada). I hold a bachelor’s degree in social work (Université Laval, Québec, Canada) and a master’s degree in health sciences research (Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Rouyn-Noranda, Canada).
After earning my bachelor’s degree in 2013, I held positions as a social worker in various practice settings such as youth protection, the prison system, and home support services. After more than ten years in clinical practice, I shifted my focus toward health sciences research. Since then, my studies have mainly focused on chronic pain treatments. I’m particularly interested in the use of cannabis for pain management, as well as the quality of care provided for chronic pain management.
Analytics and technical knowledge
I can work with large administrative health databases and linked datasets. Through my PhD, I am specializing in psychometrics and measurement validity. I can also conduct multivariable analyses, including linear and logistic regression, multilevel modeling, longitudinal analyses, and survival analyses using SPSS as my main statistical software, complemented by basic proficiency in R.
