I am originally from London Ontario and attended the University of Western Ontario. I graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in biology. In 2002, I completed an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences degree, from which I graduated with distinction. I subsequently attended the Doctor of Medicine program at UWO and graduated in 2006. Following medicine, I completed a 2 year residency in Family medicine and obtained certification with The College of Family Physicians of Canada. I have been an active member in good standing since 2008. I currently practice as a family physician, and act as the associate lead in the Elmwood Family Health Organization.

I have served as the medical director for Life Support Services since 2014. My role has been to review and assist the development of protocols, as well as to review calls.
