I'm a graduate student advised by Colin Dormuth and funded by the SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship and a Faculty of Medicine Graduate Student Award. My research uses administrative databases to evaluate drug safety and effectiveness.

Previously, I studied psychology at the University of British Columbia and worked as a health economist/senior health economist with the BC Ministry of Health on the Compensation Initiatives team. Outside of work, I am training for a sub 3:15 marathon and enjoy watching the LA Lakers.
