Physiotherapist

I graduated with my Masters of Science in Physiotherapy from McMaster University in 2016. Since graduating, I have worked with a variety of patients in different healthcare settings including emergency department, orthopedic and general surgery, intensive care unit, and palliative care. Of these experiences, I felt the most passionate about the role of physiotherapy in preventing disease and managing chronic pain.

I focus on providing patient-centered care, which includes a balance of education, exercise, hands-on therapy, acupuncture, and self-management programs. My goal as a Physiotherapist is to help patients be able to do activities that are meaningful to them, and to maintain their best level of function. I have additional training in pelvic health and integrate this knowledge in caring for patients living with incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain across the lifespan.

I teach in the Physiotherapy program at McMaster University as an assistant clinical professor (adjunct) and as lecturer (status only) in the Physical Therapy program at the University of Toronto. I have a research interest in the effects of long COVID and am a current presenter in the Long COVID education rounds.

I studied kinesiology at York University where I played varsity soccer during my 1st year. I continued to work with elite soccer players on and off the pitch throughout my undergraduate training at the provincial and semi-professional levels. I had the privilege of working as a Physiotherapist at the Canada Summer Games in 2017, and continue to enjoy helping young athletes reach their goals at the clinic.

I stay active myself at the gym and through a variety of recreational sports, yoga, dance, gardening, hiking, biking and skiing. During our short warm season, you can find me paddle boarding along Kew-Balmy Beach!
