What is a favourite memory or biggest takeway from your time in the NMP?
It will never cease to amaze me how many people came together to form and support the NMP. The community of physicians and allied health that took on all the extra work on to teach and mentor the students was amazing.
Where do you find inspiration?
I am always inspired by my colleagues in Prince George and surrounding rural communities that are willing to work with fewer resources and less access to specialized services. I am also inspired by how many NMP graduates we have working in the North.
What is one thing you hope to accomplish?
I would like to see the continued success of the NMP and it’s graduates and I hope we continue to have doctors returning to the North to work.
What do you hope to accomplish in your professional life?
My goal with respect to my work is to continue to provide a variety of services to the people of Prince George and continue to foster healthy lifelong relationships with the people in my practice.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I enjoy time with my family; we take advantage of the lakes and rivers in and around Prince George year-round.
