About Me

About Me

I am a PhD-prepared Nurse Practitioner committed to advancing brain health and optimizing mental fitness and metabolic wellness.

I hold a PhD in Nursing from the University of Victoria, where my research examined healthcare professionals’ decision-making experiences affecting older people with neurocognitive disorders and comorbid conditions. I completed a Post-Master Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Alberta, an MSN at the University of British Columbia, and a BSN at the University of Victoria. I am certified in Gerontology (GNC[c]) by the Canadian Nurses Association and I am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP).
