In addition to clinical experience as a registered occupational therapist, Dr. Huff has led and contributed to numerous global health projects across eight African countries in the areas of health systems, health equity, gender and decolonization. Her critical qualitative research explores equitable access to health care within global and Canadian contexts, and prioritizes participatory and community-based approaches which center around lived experience. She has a special interest in amplifying underfunded and understudied areas of women’s health, in particular neurodivergence, where she contributes her own lived experience.
