Amanda is a first year Neuroscience MSc student at The University of British Columbia investigating the sex-specific neurobiological mechanisms underlying stress disorders and depression, which disproportionately impact women. For the WHRC, Amanda conducted an analysis of the integration of SGBA, or sex- and gender-based analysis, into research funding proposals in Canada. Outside of the lab, she enjoys any activity that will get her outside, weightlifting, reading, dancing (especially at concerts!), and listening to podcasts.
