About

I am a Rural Family Practice resident and primary care paramedic based in Nelson, BC. I approach medicine with the mindset of an applied scientist, applying technical principles to acute care and rural health delivery.

Prior to residency, I worked as an industrial and event paramedic and conducted graduate research on spinal cord stimulation and machine learning.
