I started as a Clinical Assistant in the department of oncology at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre after which I completed my Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology training at the University of Calgary. I completed a breast cancer and clinical trials fellowship under the supervision of Dr. Jan-Willem Henning at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in 2024 while working as a part time locum medical oncologist. I am currently a breast medical oncologist at the Arthur J.E Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary. I am actively involved in breast clinical trials as PI and Sub-PI and have completed the CCTG New investigator practicum in April 2026. My other interests include global oncology initiatives. I am passionate about enhancing patient education and experience in cancer care. I severe as a member of the CCA Quality and Safety Committee. I am also currently involved with a project which is using AI to develop patient education videos for breast cancer patients in Alberta.
