Professional Identity

Growing up, I have always been curious about science and its ability to explain the world around us. During my studies in kinesiology at the University of Western Ontario, this curiosity developed into a particular interest in human physiology, sex-based differences, and how our understanding of the human body can be applied to promote longevity and quality of life. As I continue my education in the medical sciences, I am developing an interdisciplinary perspective that allows me to look beyond the science itself to address complex health challenges.

Professionally, I am a curious and adaptable learner who values evidence, collaboration, and using scientific knowledge to make a meaningful impact.
