"I am fascinated by cumulative human health and the interplay between physical, mental, and social well-being. My passion for holistic medical approaches stems from a deep belief in caring for the whole person, not just treating isolated symptoms. I believe everyone should have access to quality cancer care. My mom was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia when I was in middle school and spent a year at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, three hours away from home. I saw how prevalent the integrative model of care was for her treatment and recovery. Having my mom still with me means the world to me.
I absolutely love the outdoors and am happiest anytime I can get out in the sun or even better, on the water!"
