Research Area: coping, stress, burnout, perfectionism, cognitive processes
I am a second year Masters student at UBC working under the supervision of Dr. Peter Crocker. I completed my B.Sc. in Psychology at McGill University. I am originally from Quebec City. My masters research project investigates the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and burnout in elite athletes. More specifically it looks at the potential mediating effect of coping strategies on this relationship. I am interested in the coping process and how it relates to athlete’s experience of stressful training demands. In addition to research in the field of sport and exercise psychology I am also interested in doing some applied work with athletes. My studies are supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
