Short Bio
OpenClose

I was raised and educated in BC including completion of my MD and Medical Biochemistry residency training. I have worked at St. Paul’s Hospital since 2009 and have enjoyed working in this patient focused chemistry lab where I spend 70% of my time as the Division Head, as well as at Vancouver General Hospital where I have a weekly clinic treating adult patients with inborn errors of metabolism. Finally, I am an educator directing the UBC Medical Biochemistry Residency Training Program and chairing the Royal College National Specialty Committee.
