About
In August 2024, I began a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Family Medicine at Dalhousie University. Supervised by Dr. Ruth Lavergne, I am leading mixed methods, multi-provincial studies aimed at understanding the impacts of population aging and changing complexity on primary care needs and capacity. This fellowship is funded by a CIHR Canada Postdoctoral Research Award.
In Winter 2026, I joined the Department of Health, Aging & Society at McMaster University as a Sessional Instructor to teach the undergraduate course, Aging and Health Care Systems.
My main health services research interests are primary care, family medicine, care for older adults, and the health workforce. I have experience leading observational and quasi-experimental studies using health administrative data, evidence syntheses, consensus studies, qualitative studies, and mixed methods research. To date, I have published over 40 peer-reviewed journal articles, including in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), Age and Ageing, Annals of Family Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Directors Association (JAMDA), BMC Geriatrics, BMC Primary Care, and Canadian Family Physician (CFP). I am the first-listed or senior author of two-thirds of my publications. I have also contributed to 12 technical reports, of which I am the first-listed or senior author of 10. My research has been cited more than 350 times.
I completed my post-secondary education at McMaster University (PhD, Health Research Methodology, 2024) and the University of Waterloo (BSc, Honours Health Studies, 2019). I developed interests in health services and aging research while completing cooperative education terms in a variety of health care settings during my undergraduate studies.
