Bio

I completed a bachelors of applied science at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario in Occupational Health and Safety. During this degree I had the opportunity to work with large corporations to conduct exposure and risk assessments and realized that this was the area I wanted to explore in more depth and make into a career. I am passionate about protecting human and environmental health and preventing adverse outcomes through applications of the risk assessment paradigm. My focus is currently on population health risk assessment, and I love every minute of it!
