Michaela is an MSc student in the UBC Women’s+ and Children’s Health Sciences (WACH) Program, under the supervision of Dr. Brotto. She earned her BA in Psychology at Cape Breton University in 2026. During this degree, she explored how older women understand their body image as well as navigate body functionality issues in their sexual lives as part of her undergraduate thesis. A recipient of one of this year’s CIHR CGRS-M awards, she is excited to expand on these interests during her master’s, where she will be working on eSense-PVD, a study which aims to adapt eSense to sexual health concerns in individuals with Provoked Vestibulodynia (PVD).
