We want to give a sincere congratulations to our longtime and valuable team member, Katie Gloade for successfully defending her PhD in Health this month from Dalhousie University.
Katie’s dissertation, “Childhood School Readiness from an L’nu Worldview” will provide an important contribution to the fields of Indigenous child and youth health and education, areas that she is leading as a Co-Investigator with ACHH, an Assistant Professor at Dalhousie in the Faculty of Health, School of Nursing, a researcher, and a certified School Counsellor.
Congratulations, Katie, on your hard work and dedication. We look forward to working alongside you and seeing the differences you will make with your knowledge in the years to come.
