Bio

MSc student in Biology with a specialization in Chemical and Environmental Toxicology at the University of Ottawa. I obtained my BSc in Biomedical Science also at the University of Ottawa. During this time, I obtained experience through the Co-op program in regulatory toxicology with Health Canada. My current research, under both Dr. Chan and Dr. Poulain, which combines both microbiology and toxicology focuses on investigating the relationship between the human gut microbiome and methylmercury metabolism.
