Sarah Fraser pivoted in her life when her grandmother fell and was later diagnosed with cognitive impairment. She wanted to understand how and why this happened and how she could prevent something like this happening to other people. She changed my career plans and switched to studying multitasking (walking and talking) at Concordia University with Drs. Li and Penhune. As a postdoctoral fellow, Sarah Fraser continued studying multitasking but delved into interventions and neuroimaging with Dr. Bherer at the Institut de gériatrie in Montreal. She then took a leap and tried something completely different: qualitative research with people with sensory impairments with Drs. Wittich and Southall at McGill. All these experiences have made her the interdisciplinary researcher she is today.
Professor Fraser is accepting new students for thesis supervision.
