I received my PhD in Accounting from York University, my LLM in Tax Law from Queen's University, my MAcc in Taxation from Brock University, and my BAcc in Accounting from Brock University. I am a Canadian CPA.
I use surveys and experiments to understand decisions individuals can make related to tax-sheltered savings, tax compliance, and tax whistleblowing. I also do archival analysis about judicial decision-making in tax contexts.
I am always looking for enthusiastic and ambitious graduate students who wish to do tax research, especially behavioural tax research.
