About

I am a clinician scientist with extensive experience in biomedical research and healthcare in Canada and the UK. I’ve coauthored various topics in neuroscience (highlighted in publications section) and my passion lies in applying novel interventions for clinical practice through evidence-based translational research. Finally, I strongly believe in health advocacy for underrepresented groups and hope to engage in projects that widen access to medicine!
