Nadine Simpson

Nadine Simpson is a community member, research participant, parent of a research participant, Community Advisory Board member; Community-Based Research Assistant; and a MSc Student Researcher in the Health Sciences department at Carleton. Completing her BA at the University of Toronto with a double major in Equity and Sociology, her work has focused on improving the lived experiences of equity-owed people and communities who are systematically denied full participation in life. Nadine‘s own personal experiences with mental and physical health challenges are a driving factor in her research. Currently, with the HWERG team, Nadine is researching the intergenerational benefits of Trauma and Violence Informed Physical Activity in a Social Housing context in Ottawa, ON, Canada. Nadine enjoys spending her downtime with her sister, sons, nephews, nieces and niblings, as they watch movies or play cards and board games.
