Great to meet you! Here’s a little about me.
I work as a Family and Emergency Medicine physician in Toronto and rural Canada.
I’m a Rhodes Scholarship finalist, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, CFPC Medical Student Scholarship, New Pioneers Youth Awards, and the John Moss Scholar at University of Toronto.
The 50+ physicians and students I’ve coached are thriving in their careers, and often send me updates on their wins.
As a keynote speaker and guest lecturer, I have engaged audiences from 15 to over 2000. Several media outlets have featured my frontline work on COVID-19.
As an immigrant woman of colour, I’ve faced the challenges of minorities in the medical field. Additionally, my clinical practice in rural / remote Canada (like Northwest Territories and Nunavut) with (often Indigenous) communities have been rewarding and eye-opening to the systemic challenges of vulnerable Canadians.
Bringing lived experiences to the table, I help organizations with advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
I love seeing the world, whether internationally (39 countries and counting) or at home (ask me about the Canadian hikes I’ve done). I also love animals, and goats in particular!

Drawing from my 13+ years in medicine, I show you how to thrive and grow in your career.
