Cohort of 2022
I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. I graduated from Western University with a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and pathology. During my undergraduate degree, I completed my thesis project on the molecular mechanism of the human Shu complex in DNA repair. I was also involved with various non-profit organizations on campus and discovered a love for teaching through tutoring.
Following graduation, I worked in genetics research with Dr. Robin Hayeems and I subsequently took on a position as a Genetics Assistant. The combination of these experiences enabled me to explore the profession through different lenses, and ultimately confirmed my desire to pursue genetic counselling.
In my free time, I enjoy running, biking, and listening to Taylor Swift. I am very excited to be a part of UBC’s Genetic Counselling program and to embark on this new chapter!
