Biography:

 

I am currently a graduate student in the Lunken Lab at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. After graduating from McGill University with a degree in Dietetics, I worked as a registered dietitian in Quebec, gaining experience in private clinics. During this time, I observed a gap in specific guidance for people living with digestive issues, which peaked my interest in working with this specific population. I have always been passionate about nutrition, with a particular interest in the connections between nutrition, gut health, and women’s health. Currently, I am working on a project investigating the gut microbiome of pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across different trimesters of pregnancy.

My research interests include women’s health, gut health, nutritional epidemiology, and dietary intervention strategies. My goal is to deepen the understanding of gut microbiota for individuals with IBD to offer improved nutrition support and guidance.
