In my journey to physiotherapy I first completed a Master of Science in Clinical Anatomy where I conducted research with orthopaedic surgeons looking at a variety of surgical approaches. I then moved to Chicago to teach cadaver dissection at UIC where I still work as a faculty member teaching anatomy remotely. Since completing my physiotherapy training I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals, from weekend-warriors, clients with neurological impairments, and of course, many post-surgical patients. A little backstory I was born and raised in South Burnaby and played high level soccer for 18 years. I suffered a major knee injury that required 3 surgeries, and as is often the case for physios, I had such admiration for my own personal physiotherapist that I wanted to get involved in the profession and give back in the same way my physio had done for me. Outside the clinic When I’m not working at the clinic you can find me lecturing at different universities, out for a bike ride on the seawall, swimming in one of the amazing lakes around BC, or exploring some of Vancouver’s best eats/local craft breweries; I’m a self-proclaimed craft beer aficionado.
