Dr. Raimey Olthuis is a PhD from the Medical Sciences Department at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands. Her research focused on action-perception interactions. More specifically, how varying task constraints influence the proportional reliance on different visual information sources and the consequential impact this has on movement execution.
She is also the manager of medical staff recruitment and career partnerships with Interior Health. Working in healthcare and observing the mental health challenges facing our society has piqued her research interest towards exploring innovative treatments, including the potential of psychedelics.
Raimey is of Dutch and Irish ancestry and has called many places around the world home over the past decade. She currently resides in Kamloops, the traditional unceded territory of the Secwepemc First Nations.
