Born and raised in Winnipeg, I completed both medical school and residency training at the University of Manitoba. After completing Rhinology fellowship training BC, I have been in practice in Winnipeg since 1998.

Along with being a busy ENT (Otolaryngology-Head and Neck) surgeon in Winnipeg, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba and have helped train numerous medical students and residents. Some of my current, local, provincial, and national medical leadership positions include:

• 2018-19 President of the Canadian Medical Association
• President-elect, Federation of Medical Women of Canada
• Regional Secretary, North America and Caribbean, IFOS
• Assistant Professor with the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Manitoba
• Member of the Professional Learning and Development Committees for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
• Past Chair of the Physician Health and Wellness Committee and past Chair of the Section of Otolaryngology for Doctors Manitoba
• Co-Chair 2015 Canadian Conference on Physician Health
• Past Chair of the Continuing Professional Development and Global Health Committees for the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

As a dedicated advocate for global surgery and the promotion of safe, accessible surgical care, I volunteer annually on surgical missions to low and lower-middle income countries. This volunteer work inspires me to work harder for my patients and the health care system. I am also passionate about physician health and wellness and have worked to support the health and well-being of doctors.
