I completed a bachelor’s degree in Honours Biochemistry and a master’s degree in Experimental Medicine from the University of British Columbia. After my master’s degree, I wanted to pursue disease-oriented medical research. Thus, I joined the Rare Diseases Discovery Hub at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Working at the Hub on projects that had the potential to directly improve a patient’s life was very fulfilling and made me realize my passion for precision medicine.
In May 2023, I started my Ph.D. training under the supervision of Dr. Stuart Turvey. My project focuses on using precision medicine in pediatrics to discover and characterize novel monogenic disorders. This research will help further our understanding of human biology, improve patient care, and optimize treatments. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, and trying new restaurants and cafes.
