Queeny Pognon, doctoral student

Queeny holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the Université du Québec à Montréal. She is beginning her doctoral studies in psychology at the Université de Montréal under the direction of professors Isabelle Daigneault, Ph.D. and Martine Hébert, Ph.D. She is particularly interested in the revictimization phenomenon among victims of sexual assault and people from cultural minorities, as well as in the resilience capacities of these populations as well as the impact of this issue on the formation of couple relationships.

Given the multiple learning opportunities offered to graduate students, notably through monthly seminars and participation in the laboratory’s research projects, Queeny decided to continue her involvement within the lab after having completed a research internship. On a more personal level, Queeny particularly appreciates the team spirit that reigns in the lab – to which she makes a great contribution! – and the motivation Dr. Hébert manages to instill in her team.

Queeny is also actively involved in student life and is part of the student committee of the Centre de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les Problèmes Conjugaux et les Agressions Sexuelles. She is currently writing an article as first author investigating the impact of cumulative traumatic experiences on the effectiveness of interventions designed for teenage girl victims of sexual abuse.
