She also received an undergraduate degree in Human Biology from the University of Toronto in 2017.

Her thesis focuses on examining the impact of free recreation programming on children’s physical activity levels, as well as identifying the factors that complicate and/or facilitate the implementation of physical activity interventions for children.
