Public Health Journey

I am an Epidemiologist by training and a Project Manager by trade. I operate at the intersection of health research, evaluation, and project delivery. Over the past few years, I have led and supported initiatives across Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.

The Foundation (BSc & Co-op): My journey began at the University of Waterloo, where I completed my BSc in Health Science. The comprehensive undergraduate public health coursework and two years of full-time co-op experience exposed me to a wide variety of healthcare topics and allowed me to build meaningful connections across Canada.

The Scientist (MSc): These experiences inspired me to pursue a Master’s in Epidemiology at McGill University. There, I received rigorous training in study design and causal inference from some of the brightest minds in the world. My work centered on leading Real-World Evidence (RWE) studies, evaluating the post-market cardiovascular safety of diabetes medications.

The Project Manager (PMP): As I took on more complex initiatives, I noticed that many great ideas stall due to poor execution. This inspired me to pursue the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification to learn how to integrate project management best practices into research to maximize impact.

The Strategist (CBAP Candidate): Currently, I am pursuing the Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) certification to master the "front end" of project delivery. While traditional project management measures success by meeting timelines and budgets, I believe the true metric should be the value created. I am learning how to better elicit requirements and design solutions that actually solve stakeholder problems and drive meaningful impact.

Let’s Connect: I love meeting new people. Feel free to send me an email. I am always happy to connect.
