Hello!
My name is Shanley. I am in my second year of the MSc Rural Planning and Development program at the University of Guelph. My thesis research is looking at violent crime in rural Canada.
I completed my BA Honours in Psychology with a minor in Business at Saint Mary’s University in 2022 and received a Governor General’s Silver Medal for highest academic standing in the graduating class. Under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Kelloway, my honours thesis research was a psychometric assessment of a “scrambling scale,” proposed as a measure of how individuals react in crisis situations.
