I have a passion for helping people especially pregnant mamas, paediatric patients, and families. I attended McMaster University and received my Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, & Behaviour before attending the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) to obtain my Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

I did my clinical Internship at St. Michael’s Hospital Family Healthcare Team in Toronto, collaborating with other health care professionals such as medical doctors, dentists, psychologists, social workers, and more.

My recent volunteer initiatives includes a Doctors Without Borders mission trip to the Dominican Republic providing free chiropractic care. In addition to being involved in research with CMCC focusing on prenatal health, I also actively work with the Beanstalk Creative to speak to local high schools.
