Telehealth for Post-Stroke Aphasia 
 
Aphasia, most commonly caused by a stroke, is a language disorder which hinders the ability 
to communicate effectively (National Aphasia Association, 2021). It is an impairment of 
language, typically affecting the production or comprehension of spoken, written or nonverbal 
aspects of communication. Both assessment and treatment of aphasia is effective in promoting 
the recovery of all aspects of language abilities (Choi et al., 2015). Current literature has 
documented the importance of assessing both language and extra-linguistic cognitive difficulties 
in individuals with aphasia (Marinelli et al., 2017). As well, telehealth for individuals with 
aphasia is a developing field that allows those who have poor functionality or inaccessibility to 
healthcare to still be diagnosed (Hall et al., 2013). Therefore, a brief screening protocol that can 
be administered via telehealth practices is necessary to quickly and conveniently diagnose 
individuals with post-stroke aphasia and any associated language and/or extra-linguistic 
cognitive difficulties.

  My research highlight for Inspiring Minds 
 
Post-Ebola Liberia: documenting the role of women in containing the 2014 Ebola outbreak 
The 2014 Ebola outbreak in three West African countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, 
killed over 11,000. About 43% of the total deaths were recorded in Liberia alone, bringing the 
fragile health system to near collapse. Liberian women were at the forefront of containing the 
outbreak. Yet little is known about women’s Ebola containment interventions or about the 
gendered dimensions of their work. Using a qualitative/quantitative mixed-methods approach, 
this study will document and analyze the strategies women employed to support Ebola 
containment efforts and assess how these can be built into emergency preparedness programs for 
future outbreaks. This study builds on my prior work on infectious disease and community well-
being in Ghana and my participation in an ongoing research project with Liberian women that 
examines the relationship between peacebuilding and gender equality. Findings from this study 
will contribute to the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals 3, 5 and 16.

Exploring the Experiences of Familial Mental Illness Stigma Among Individuals Living 
with Mental Illnesses  
While mental illness stigma has been long acknowledged as a social problem it continues to 
persist, resulting in social exclusion of affected persons globally. My dissertation explores the 
lived experiences of familial mental illness stigma among individuals living with mental illnesses 
in Ontario, Canada. This project was borne out of my experiences in supporting vulnerable 
children and youth in care in St. John’s Newfoundland. Familial mental illness stigma, that is 
stigma against an individual from one’s own family, is seldom talked about in literature and the 
media. This form of stigma is often concealed and can be particularly pernicious due to 
alienation within one’s home environment. Understanding this most hidden form of stigma will 
support development of policies and interventions towards solutions.
