Hello! I'm Naomi.
Originally from Calgary, Alberta, I moved to the Greater Toronto Area to pursue an M.A. in Social & Personality Psychology at York University under the supervision of Dr. Esther Greenglass.
My broad research interests include racial discrimination and positive psychology.
In my free time, I like to read and collect books.
