Education & Experience

Alisia is a second year Master’s of Science candidate in the Forensic Psychology program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa, Ontario under the supervision of Dr. Leigh Harkins. Alisia’s current research interests are focused on campus sexual violence and the treatment of sexual offenders. Alisia received her Honours Bachelor of Science in the Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour program from McMaster University in 2017.
