Last but not least, introducing our third managing editor, Natasha Usenko! Natasha is currently completing her final semester at Simon Fraser University. She is completing her Honors thesis under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Douglas, investigating the construct of boldness within psychopathy and its association with maladaptive s*xual and relational behaviors (e.g. s*xual/relational coercion, assertiveness, and violence), and will continue to work under his supervision in her graduate studies beginning in the fall. Beyond volunteering in the Douglas Research Lab, she is also working alongside Dr. Maaike Helmus conducting s*x offender research. Broadly, her research interests include serious and violent offenders, s*xual offenders, psychopathy, and violent risk assessment and management.

Introducing our second managing editor, Kelsey Alexander. Kelsey is currently completing her honours thesis under the supervision of Dr. Jodi Viljoen and Dr. Tonia Nicholls. Her project explores incidents of unauthorized leaves from a secure inpatient forensic psychiatric hospital. It is hoped that the findings of this thesis project will be used to gain a better understanding of these incidents and how to prevent them in the future, as well as reduce the stigma surrounding forensic patients. Kelsey has an interest in forensic psychology, particularly risk assessment and management. She hopes to obtain a graduate degree to aid in pursuing a career where she can make a difference through bettering policy and practice for those experiencing mental health challenges.

Meet one of our 2021 managing editors, Spencer Chen! Spencer is completing her honours thesis at the Intergroup Relations and Social Justice Lab under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Wright. Her honours thesis explores the psychological mechanisms that lead to the dehumanization of su***de attempt survivors. Spencer is interested in social and clinical psychology. She hopes to eventually become a clinical psychologist and contribute towards eliminating su***de through research and clinical practice. Spencer also cares deeply about social justice and hopes to improve the mental health care system and reduce the stigma of mental illness.
