Mel received her BSc in Physiotherapy from Sao Camilo University Center, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and her MSc from the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Mel is currently in her third year of the PhD in Health at Dalhousie University. She previously worked both in research and as a physiotherapist with patients with chronic conditions. She is interested in, and has focused her research on, self-management, multimorbidity, outcome measures and implementation science. Outside of work she enjoys travelling with her family and going for walks with her dog.

Stephen also attended the University of Prince Edward Island for his Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in biology and minoring in psychology. Stephen’s general research interests include mental wellness, the stigma of mental illness, and mental health help-seeking attitudes. After his masters, Stephen hopes to attend medical school and use his knowledge and lived experience to continue to break down the stigma of mental illness and reduce the barriers to treatment.
