Bio

I received a BSc (HONS) degree in Biology from Algoma University, followed by a MSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Windsor studying the morning choruses of Ontario birds. I attended medical school at Northern Ontario School of Medicine, and completed Family Medicine residency at Western University. I then acquired an extra year of specialized training in Palliative Care at the University of Ottawa. Since 2020, I have been working within the Division of Palliative Care at The Ottawa Hospital.

Research Goals and Interests

My research interests are primarily focused on provision of non-malignant palliative care. I am currently working on a program evaluation of the novel nephrology- and hepatology-palliative care collaboration clinics at The Ottawa Hospital. I am also working on a review of current palliative care involvement for patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease receiving dialysis. I am involved in a grant for studying a new home-based paracentesis program for patients with End-Stage Liver Disease.
