About Me

After growing up in the GTA, my early aspirations for medicine led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON, where I majored in Life Sciences. After graduation, I returned to Toronto to continue my education at the University of Toronto where I completed a Master of Science in Medical Biophysics. My previous research experiences, and my many mentors, have fostered my curiosity and passion for medicine and translational research. I am excited to continue exploring the intersection of research and clinical practice at the University of Toronto through the combined MD/PhD program. Outside of school, you can find me hiking, rock climbing, camping and enjoying the outdoors with a furry friend always close by.

My goals this year are to represent the needs of the MD-PhD student body, advocate for curricular and program-related changes to improve our student experience, and improve the family planning resources available to MD-PhD learners.

About Me

I am an MD-PhD student in the final year of my PhD in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Care Research at the Institute for Health Policy, Management and Evaluation. My research focuses on the quality of virtual mental health care for youth and young adults. I'll be re-joining the class of 2T9 this August :) Outside of school, I enjoy running, gardening, and spending time with my cat!

Year Plans and Goals

I aim to advocate for the needs of MD-PhD students across all phases of the program. I also aim to support the fantastic initiatives of our class council, including advocating for family planning supports and increasing program visibility among undergraduate and high school students.
