My Work

I continue to work in non-profit healthcare settings. Working in community and for community remains my passion. I get asked about my work, and continue to be proud of what I have contributed to healthcare research in Canada. If you want to learn more about what I stand for as a person, and the types of contributions I have professionally, here are some of my accomplishments professionally.

My work matters because it says a lot about who I am and what I stand for.
