About Me

I am a PhD student in Sociology at McGill University, specializing in Population Dynamics, with a passion for exploring family trajectories and transitions to adulthood among immigrant groups. I hold a Master’s in Demography and a Bachelor’s in Social Planning, ranking among the top students in both programs. My research focuses on understanding how young immigrants navigate key life events, such as marriage, childbearing, and household formation, in a new cultural context. I aim to highlight that living in a high-income country is not the same experience for immigrants as it is for the native-born, as immigrants often face additional obstacles when adapting to a new place. With expertise in quantitative research methods, data analysis, and demographic modeling, my goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of immigrant families. My research is funded by the Fonds de Recherche du Quebec (FRQSC).
