Katrina Monton is a safe-sport advocate and is passionate about cultivating safe, equitable and inclusive environments.

While pursuing her undergraduate studies in psychology at Concordia, she was a professional athlete on the Canadian women’s national water polo team, where she competed in five Aquatic World Championships, two Pan American Games and numerous other tournaments.

After helping Team Canada reach the podium at six major international events, Monton retired and pursued an MA in counselling psychology at McGill University.

Her research explores the impact of organizational culture in high-stakes, win-at-all-costs environments and the implications for athlete safety, well-being and performance.
