Barleen Kaur
(She/Her)

I am a research volunteer in the TREC Lab with a background in Psychology. I completed my BSc in Psychology, and I am working as a behavioural interventionist supporting children with autism and their families. I also worked with the Calgary Normative study as a Research Assistant in Radiology Medicine. With the help of these experiences, I developed a strong interest in mental health and have set the goal to assist with more research related to the field. My long-term goal is to pursue graduate training in counselling psychology and become a therapist. I am particularly passionate about reducing the cultural stigma surrounding mental health and improving access to services for diverse communities.

What would you bring in your backpack if you were heading on a TREC (trek)?

If I were heading on a long TREC, I would bring my favourite playlist because life is better with music, a lot of snacks and my friends!
