Biography:
I completed my BSc from the University of Victoria majoring in Microbiology and Biochemistry in 2018. Since graduation I have worked in a variety of industry and research labs, allowing me to explore different molecular biology and biochemistry methodologies in humans and animals. I am passionate about exploring the intricacies of how living things work, and the relationships they create to disease expression in the bigger picture. I love working in research environments that are filled with curiosity and an eagerness to improve our understanding of the world around us.
With the Elango lab I apply my experiences to human nutrition through stable isotope mass spectroscopy; focusing on examining dietary protein and amino acid requirements during life stages and inborn errors of metabolism.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
