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.
