Biography:
I am a Bachelor of Science student majoring in neuroscience at the University of British Columbia. With a strong passion for healthcare accessibility, ethics, and research, I have worked as an undergraduate researcher at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and as a researcher at Korah, focusing on sustainable and accessible solutions to healthcare and educational disparities in underdeveloped regions. My experiences also include facilitating specialized programming for neurodivergent youth and assisting in evacuations of northern communities facing environmental crises. I also serve as the Outreach Coordinator for the Women’s Health Research Club at UBC. My work is driven by a commitment to equity in healthcare, Indigenous rights, and the intersection of research and community impact.

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.
