I studied Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, with a background in Health Informatics. What first drew me to Kinesiology was a fascination with the intricacies of the human body, but over time, that curiosity developed into a broader interest in the intersection of scientific discovery, health data, and patient care, and in how these disciplines can come together to advance the way we understand and care for people.

Throughout university, I have been fortunate to explore that interest from several perspectives: conducting studies in a cardiovascular physiology laboratory, coordinating orthopedic research studies in a hospital, and analysing health data through machine learning and computational methods. Beyond research, I taught cadaveric anatomy, supported a cancer rehabilitation program, worked as a medical management intern, and pursued a number of side ventures, from starting a company and participating in pitch competitions to working on student design teams. Each experience deepened my appreciation for both the intellectual rigor of medicine and the deeply human relationships at its centre, from helping a participant feel at ease during an unfamiliar assessment to encouraging a cancer survivor through an exercise session. These experiences have shown me that meaningful healthcare extends beyond a research question or measurement; it is also about empathy, trust, communication, and the experience we create for the person in front of us.

I am working toward a future in medicine with a deep sense of purpose and an enduring curiosity about the world around me. I hope to become a physician who is not only knowledgeable and clinically thoughtful, but also compassionate, inquisitive, and deeply attentive to the people behind every diagnosis, dataset, and research question. Ultimately, I want to keep learning, keep asking meaningful questions, and use what I learn to make a lasting, positive contribution to the people and communities I serve.

Outside of work, I am happiest outdoors, whether that is playing tennis, solo travelling, or hiking somewhere new. Experiencing different environments, cultures, and ways of life has not only broadened my perspective, but has also shaped me into a more compassionate, open-minded, and grounded person who is always eager to learn from the world and the people around me.
