About Me

I graduated from the Doctor of Chiropractic program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in June of 2020. I'm competent in musculoskeletal diagnostics, acute and persistent pain & injury prevention & management, and rehabilitation. Exposure to a multitude of conditions and diverse populations during my internship year has helped me build a solid clinical foundation that I am excited to build upon entering practice in the near future. Additionally, I have a special interest in the active population and sport injury management.

My personal philosophy as a health care provider is rooted in taking a global, systematic and evidence-based approach in order to help others function optimally while empowering them to be active participants in achieving their health goals. Patient-education and collaboration amongst health care professionals are key components to this philosophy.
