Biography

Angela Marova is a PhD Candidate. Her solid practice experience in the areas of Mental Health and wellness, employment services and newcomer settlement services informs theoretical considerations related to minimizing employment barriers for newcomers and internationally trained professionals in Canada. More specifically, her overarching research goals of investigating the well-being of internationally trained professionals and her post defence goals of developing an evidence-informed career assessment tool, through an inclusion lens, to more robustly support internationally trained professional newcomers is an innovative intervention towards ameliorating persistent employment barriers. Angela’s research holds the potential to indirectly impact well-being of internationally trained professional newcomers by addressing income, employment, and social status as social determinants of mental health.
