Maura Leggate

Maura is a fourth-year Psychology major from Riverview, NB. During her independent study, she will examine the role of mobility training in older adults and its effect on movement and well-being. Maura is interested in the positive impacts of intentional long-term movement and fitness on the brain. Her academic end goal is to obtain a master’s degree and a PhD in Psychology in one of the many fields. She is interested in several areas of psychology and has not yet decided which path is for her.

Emily Crosby

Emily is a fourth-year BSc Psychology honours student with a minor in Biology. She is from Truro, NS, and plans to pursue a career in medicine after completing her undergraduate degree. In particular, she would like to work in pediatric chronic pain treatment. Emily is completing an honours project with Dr. Azar that focuses on chronic pain in adolescence. More specifically, her pilot project intends to explore how those between the ages of 11 and 18 navigate, accept, and grow through their experiences with chronic pain, with an emphasis on resilience. The study will employ a qualitative approach grounded in the Biopsychosocial model and aims to develop an interview guide for future research with youth experiencing chronic pain.
