Bio

I completed my BSc in Life Science with a specialization in Drug Development and Human Toxicology at Queen’s University. During my honors project under Dr. Louise Winn, I studied the effects of benzene metabolite exposure in murine fetal liver cells. I joined Dr. Laurie Chan’s lab as an MSc at the University of Ottawa with the goal of applying my background in human health to environmental factors that affect both humans and the world around us.
