Biography:
I am a masters student in the Reproductive and Developmental Science program at UBC, I joined the program in May 2020. I am originally from Calgary, Alberta and completed my bachelors of science in biochemistry at the University of Victoria. My research interests include women’s cancer, specifically hormone receptor positive breast and ovarian cancer. I hope during my time as a masters student I can play a role in improving outcomes for the women that are diagnosed with these cancers. I am working under the supervision of Dr. Mark Carey and our lab’s focus is on rare gynecologic cancers, specifically low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). I am very interested in this area of research as these cancers are often under researched and are correlated with poor outcomes.

Research areas of interest:

rare gynecologic cancers, specifically low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC)

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.
