Biography:

My research interests center on understanding how female health shapes offspring outcomes. Many factors play a role in this relationship, including maternal age, nutrition, stress, and overall health. I am particularly intrigued by the maternal-offspring connection across developmental and aging processes. Currently, I am investigating how nutrient stress impacts oocyte gene expression in C. elegans. Ultimately, I hope to advance our understanding of female health through continued research in this critical area.

Research areas of interest:

Reproductive health, ovarian and oocyte aging.

Research Themes:

Maternal & Fetal Health Chronic Disease Global Health

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.
