Nicole Adams, BA, MSc
Manager, Research Operations

Nicole Adams completed her Bachelor of Arts (BA, Hons) with a specialization in psychology at Laurentian University. For her undergraduate thesis, Nicole examined the role of perfectionism and self-discrepancy on body-image and presented her findings at the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Annual Convention. She continued her academic journey at York University where she pursued a Master of Science (MSc) in kinesiology and health sciences. During her masters, she dove into the health behaviours research stream where she explored oxytocin and genetic links with overeating behaviours and examined other relevant factors such as reward and punishment sensitivity.

Nicole has a passion for teaching in higher education and has worked as a teaching assistant at York University. Here she successfully taught undergraduate students the fundamentals of statistics for both Research Methods in Kinesiology and Analysis of Data in Kinesiology. When Nicole is not working on research projects, she is volunteering her time with the minor hockey and baseball associations within her community.
