After having completed my Integrated Science degree at McMaster University, I spent an amazing three years at Dalhousie University where I earned both my MSc Physiotherapy and MSc Rehabilitation Research, with a special focus on novel skill acquisition and accelerated motor learning techniques using feedback and observation. I am especially interested in the intersection of research and clinical practice, and love finding ways to share exciting new findings and evidence with my patients!

My assessment and treatment approach is centered around empowerment, education, and aiming to understand the unique impacts that an injury can have on your function and quality of life. I am committed to ensuring my patients are involved as decision makers in their recovery pathway and use my skills in therapeutic exercise and manual therapy to deliver an evidence-based, dynamic treatment plan focused on your individual goals and needs. I firmly believe in the promotion of an active, healthy lifestyle as a means to restore and enhance function and reduce the risk of future recurrence of injuries.

In my spare time, I enjoy trying out new recipes, rock climbing, and trail running with many of the local clubs in Gatineau Park. As a frequent participant in ultramarathons ranging from 50 to 100 kms in distance, I have a special interest in the rehabilitation of outdoor athletes and running-related injuries, and am excited to incorporate my extensive experience in these pursuits into a versatile rehabilitation program!
