Short Bio
OpenClose

Born and raised in Ottawa, I completed a BSc at Trent University in Ontario in 2006 and an MPH at Simon Fraser University here in Vancouver in 2009. I attended McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario for medical school and a residency in Medical Microbiology ending in 2017. After my training, I returned to the Vancouver area to work as a microbiologist at LifeLabs.

My professional interests include antibiotic susceptibility testing, laboratory quality, and teaching.

Outside of work, you might find me hiking with my husband, horseback riding, or curled up with a good book beside our pet cat, Lulu and our dog, Matty
