Current undergraduate students

Lauren Desjardins
Currently, I am entering my second year of the Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience program. I am working as a Research Assistant on the Imposter Phenomenon project with Dr. Menard. Although I am not 100% sure of my career aspirations, I am interested in seeking further education in the fields of mental health, health psychology, and positive psychology. As a lover of learning and teaching, I plan to share my knowledge of these topics with others. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cooking healthy meals, spending time with my family and friends, and doing/teaching Pilates.
Nicholas Armstrong
My name is Nick Armstrong. I am completing my final year of a combined undergraduate degree in Honours Psychology with Thesis and Criminology. I’m currently working on my thesis project alongside Dr. Ménard, which is on the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on transitions into university. In the future, I’m hoping to further my education in a Masters/Graduate program. In my spare time, I partake in various hobbies but my dog gets most of my attention.


Sara Pratt
My name is Sara Pratt, and I am in my fourth year of the Psychology with Honours Thesis program. My work with Dr. Menard consists of literature review for the impact of COVID-19 on nurses for the STRONG project. After my undergraduate degree I intend on pursuing graduate studies to become a clinical psychologist. With this further education I aim to practice therapy with adults who have mental health difficulties. In my free time I write, draw, and play various tabletop and video games.
