About Rebecca

Rebecca Shaw is a doctoral student in the Higher Education program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) studying how late-identified autistic graduate students experience academic culture and construct their identity as new researchers.

She has worked in a variety of student success and coaching roles at post-secondary institutions in both British Columbia and Ontario. As the Intake and Administrative Coordinator, Rebecca brings her administrative skills and passion for creating safe and comfortable environments where people can work toward their personal goals.

When not focussing on work or school, Rebecca enjoys lounging in her cuddle chair, writing magical realism, walking to Bayfront Park in Hamilton to visit the swans, and trying out new artforms – printmaking is next!
