Ashley is a third-year Ph.D. student in the Clinical Psychology program at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO), co-supervised by Dr. Maya Libben and Dr. Harry Miller. Ashley’s research experiences have largely fallen within the domain of health psychology. For example, her honors thesis, completed at the University of Calgary, evaluated a 4-week mindfulness-based intervention aimed at reducing disordered eating behaviors among bariatric surgery candidates. Her master’s thesis, completed at UBCO, assessed the acceptability and feasibility of a 12-week cognitive-behavioral healthy lifestyle program for weight management and well-being among young adults (ages 18 to 29 years). Ashley’s doctoral work will investigate cognitive elements of disordered eating and body image. Her doctoral research is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
