My research interests include the use of Ebooks by Humanist Scholars and the role of serendipity in the research process of the historian. My academic background is in the areas of English Literature and History, and I am working to keep an interdisciplinary approach throughout my doctoral work by participating in the growing world of the Digital Humanities.

I was a Master’s student in the Media Studies program at UWO and, using a mixed methods approach, I investigated the role of Facebook in romantic breakups. A quantitative portion of my study examined the relationship between Facebook use and post-breakup distress, and a qualitative analysis focused on the strategies that individuals employ to cope with distress caused by content on Facebook.
